Sway 1.0-alpha.5 contains 273 changes from 21 contributors. Note that sway alpha releases are not considered complete, are missing many features, and will have many bugs. You are strongly encouraged to remain on sway 0.15.x if you are not prepared to deal with constant breakage and keep quiet about it. Please do not submit bug reports for this version of sway. Submit patches instead.

We're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel here. We've defined the list of features necessary to ship 1.0-beta.1, which will be considered the feature-complete 1.0 release (but not considered bug-free). Sway 1.0 is drawing near!

The recommended wlroots version to use with this sway release is 4ed6ee0.

Package maintainers: please do not package this release.

This changelog only includes new features since 1.0-alpha.4. Bugfixes are not included.
