Hyprland 0.43 Wayland Compositor Releases, Raises Build Requirements To C++26

Hyprland 0.43 is out as the newest version of this independent, very customizable Wayland compositor focused on providing a dynamic tiling experience.

Hyprland 0.43 brings animation improvements, a number of new configuration tunables, an option to control the behavior of which window to focus on following close, an option for toggling XWayland support, and a number of other small additions. There are also a number of fixes of varying impact with this Hyprland compositor update.

Hyprland 0.43 does up its build requirements to already requiring a C++26 compiler... Meaning GCC 14+ and LLVM Clang 18+, which is rather aggressive and requires either an up-to-date toolchain on your existing Linux distribution or be riding a very leading-edge Linux distribution. Not to mention that C++26 isn't formally released yet.

Downloads and more details on the many changes with the Hyprland 0.43 Wayland compositor can be found via GitHub. More details on this independent Wayland compositor itself at Hyprland.org.
