Niri 0.1.9 is out today as the latest update to this scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor that is written in Rust.

Niri's IPC code has now implemented an event stream for listening to compositor events, various other new IPC features were added, window height handling changes, libdisplay-info is now used to provide better monitor names via parsing the EDID information, transactional updates for window resizing and window closing, on-demand variable refresh rate, and small UX enhancements.
