With great pleasure may I announce that our move off of wlroots is now complete and MR 6608 is now merged.

After over 1000 comments on 6608 alone, and over 3 months of the entire process, the rewrite is done.

With it, Hyprland is no longer a wlroots-based Wayland compositor, and instead, a fully independent implementation of the protocol.

Don’t worry though, all your wlroots apps will still work.

what do you even mean? Drew is the creator of wlroots and Sway. He literally jump-starts the adoption of Wayland in linux.
