docs/usage/scrolling-layout.md says how the columns work. The design docs
say what the strip is, where a window out of view rests, and that the
generated tables of COMPARE.md are to be made again.
nixpkgs moves from d3b13ad (2026-10-24) to f05535a (2026-10-27) and rust-overlay
from c7e9d51 to 19ecdd0; the other six inputs have no newer revision. KWin,
Plasma and KRDP go from 6.8.1 to 6.8.2, so testedMax in nix/supported-kwin.nix
goes to 6.8.2, with its dated comment. Qt (6.12.0), FreeRDP (3.32.2) and the
glibc of nixpkgs (2.44) keep their versions. The stable Rust toolchain stays at
1.99.1; the nightly rustfmt moves from 2026-10-27 to 2026-10-28.
nixpkgs now has KDE Rounded Corners 0.11.0. nix/kde-rounded-corners.nix still
sets the version and the source, because its patch is written for the 0.11.0
source, so the package does not change: it builds with its patch, and Geometry
Change builds, against KWin 6.8.2. The dated sentences of README.md, DESIGN.md,
PLATFORM.md, COMPARE.md and of the docs of kwin/effects.rs say 2026-10-28 and
the new versions. Measurements taken on 6.8.1 keep their date and version, since
none was repeated on 6.8.2.
The glibc floor does not move: komorebi and komorebic still need 2.39 on aarch64
and on x86_64 (pidfd_getpid and pidfd_spawnp, both weak references), measured as
the build job measures it, before and after patchelf.
The gate with the nix checks passes on an aarch64 box and on x86-1,
nixos-module-eval among them (the KWin version scenarios included). The VM
suites run against the tip of these two commits; the result is in the message of
the next commit.
docs/dev/COMPARE.md says what komorebi for KDE shares with komorebi for Windows
and komorebi for Mac, what differs, what KDE does by itself and what is not
supported, for a reader who knows komorebi on one of them. Its tables are
generated by scripts/compare-gen.py from this checkout and from checkouts of the
other two, because a count or a name typed by hand is wrong after the next
change to a command, a key or an event. The script also checks the notes that
say why a command has no counterpart, and the sentences of the document that
depend on a table, and stops when one of them is no longer true. CI has neither
checkout and cannot run it; CONTRIBUTING says when to run it. The tables have no
column for the commit that added a row: the plan that numbered the commits is
not in the repository, and a number the script cannot derive for the next commit
would stop it.
The other documents had places that said something the repository does not carry
or does not do:
- DESIGN cited docs/kde.md, which no commit carries, said spike 8 "asked
whether" one komorebi.json could be shared, and described the default of the
key binding mode as a plan. Each entry now states the rule and the evidence.
The first entry no longer says that the Windows implementation is the
reference: both it and the macOS one were read, and the native thing is
preferred where the other two need a workaround.
- "The spikes" was used in PLATFORM, DESIGN and COMPARE and defined nowhere.
PLATFORM's vocabulary defines it, and PLATFORM has a list of what was not
measured, which COMPARE links to.
- ARCHITECTURE said a maximized window is hidden with its workspace and shown
with it, and that the code has a TODO for cycling the focus. A workspace
switch hides nothing, since KWin shows and hides the desktop's windows, and
the cycle leaves a maximized window as it is; the TODO and the commented-out
code under it in window_manager.rs are replaced by a comment that says so. The
Key bindings section no longer repeats the headings of the sections before it.
- README listed the subcommands that work without the daemon, and the list was
short. It gives the rule and one example of each kind.
- The page on changing monitors opened with "nothing to configure" and then
named display_index_preferences.
- COMPARE said KWin waits 300 ms for the pointer to settle before it moves the
focus. That is KWin's default (DelayFocusInterval, in KWin 6.8.1), and
komorebi sets it to 0 while focus follows mouse is on; the page now says so.
- ARCHITECTURE's opening list of what the page describes stopped at the borders
and had no word of animation, themes, wallpapers, transparency, focus follows
mouse or key bindings. Two link definitions that it had twice are there once.
- PLATFORM's list of what was not measured has the progress of the stock
animation effect against the clock: one capture showed none four seconds into
a 30 s animation, where the curve gives about 60 %.
- README, docs/index.md and ARCHITECTURE link COMPARE.md.
- COMPARE's list of the methods of Backend has drag_end, which the end of a
resize is read through, and compare-gen.py has the row and the counts.
