Hyprland 0.55 announced the switch to Lua for its config files

# Hyprland 0.55 is here and you don't want to miss it! Source: [https://hypr.land/news/update55/](https://hypr.land/news/update55/) After quite a long while, Hyprland 0\.55 is upon us\! This is an enormous update by each measurable metric \- commits, contributors, features and changes\. ## Highlights With 0\.55, there are tons of changes, let’s bring the highlights first\. ### Lua configs As we’ve[announced a while back](https://hypr.land/news/26_lua/), the Hyprland config is now done in Lua\. This does not mean your hyprlang config is now broken \- it will still work, for a few releases\. The entire wiki has been updated to reflect new Lua configs and you are encouraged to migrate over to Lua\. ### User\-defined layouts With Lua, we’ve also added a Layout API for you to define your own layouts directly in the config\. Those layouts can be set globally, per\-workspace, per\-monitor, etc\. and behave just like regular layouts, except fully controlled by you\. ### Various scrolling improvements Scrolling now supports fullscreen windows as part of the tape by default: As well as a native trackpad gesture via`scroll\_move`in lua\. ### ICC Profiles You can now load an ICC profile per\-output in your config via`icc = "\.\.path\.\."`in your config for color accuracy\. ### Renderer and CM improvements Hyprland will now use FP16 precision and improved CM pipelines by default for Color Managed displays\. This helps with color accuracy, screensharing, and various color\-related things\. ### Breaking changes A few config option updates: - `dwindle:pseudotile`has been removed as it wasn’t doing anything - `decoration:shadow:ignore\_window`has been removed \(defaults to enabled\) - `render:cm\_fs\_passthrough`has been removed, should be automatic with`render:cm\_auto\_hdr` - `misc:vfr`moved to`debug:`as it’s a debug variable that should not be changed in prod environments ## New stuff and fixes As usual, tons of goodies: - A bunch of scrolling goodies:`expel`,`consume`,`consume\_or\_expel`, wrapping options, and so on\. - A new`auto\_consuming`flag for binds - Device tags - `confine\_pointer`window rule - `move\_into\_or\_create\_group`for the move dispatcher - `rotatesplit`layoutmsg for dwindle - A new live pinch cursor zoom trackpad gesture - A new glow decoration for windows - And much more… And the usual fixes, way too many to list… ## The raw release As always, if you prefer reading more, check the release on[Github](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/releases/tag/v0.55.0)\.
