Sway 1.0-rc1 contains 311 changes from 32 contributors since 1.0-beta2.
The release candidates are considered complete and will receive no new
features, only bug fixes. Once a release candidate sees a week of
testing without turning up any new bugs, it will become a stable
release.
The recommended wlroots version to use with this sway release is
[XXX](https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/commit/TODO).
Package maintainers: **please do not package this release**.
- [swayidle](https://github.com/swaywm/swayidle) and
[swaylock](https://github.com/swaywm/swaylock) are now standalone
projects and must be installed separately. These no longer depend on
wlroots or sway's internals and can be used with other Wayland
compositors.
