  12. Since the previous [State of Sway](/2015/12/20/State-of-sway.html), we have
  13. accomplished quite a bit. We are now shipping versioned releases of sway, which
  14. include support for window borders, input device configuration, more new
  15. features, and many bug fixes and stability improvements. I'm also happy to say
  16. that Sway 0.5 has landed in the Arch Linux community repository and I'm starting
  17. to hear rumors of it landing in other Linux distros as well. Here's a quick
  18. rundown of what's happened in the past four months:
  20. * Window borders work now
  21. * Input devices are configurable
  22. * swaybar is much more mature, including support for i3status and i3blocks
  23. * swaylock has reached a similar level of maturity
  24. * New `include` config command to include sub-configs
  25. * We have a [default wallpaper](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/blob/master/assets/Sway_Wallpaper_Blue_1920x1080.png) and a logo now
  26. * musl libc support has been added
  27. * More features of the i3 IPC protocol have been implemented
  28. * 18 more i3 commands have been implemented
  29. * Many improvements to documentation
  30. * Hundreds of bug fixes and small improvements
  32. I'm a particularly big fan of the new include command, which allows me to add
  33. this to my config file:
  35.     include ~/.config/sway/config.d/`hostname`/*
  37. The net of this is that it includes a set of configs specific to each machine I
  38. run Sway on, which each have a unique output device & input device configuration
  39. and several other details, but I can include them all under
  40. [version control](https://gogs.sr.ht/SirCmpwn/dotfiles) to keep my dotfiles
  41. synced between computers.
  43. Today, sway looks like this:

  47. We're now making our way towards Sway 1.0. I have put together a roadmap of the
  48. things we have done and the things that remain to do for Sway 1.0, which is
  49. available on the improved website [here](http://swaywm.org/roadmap). We are
  50. still now moving forward on many of these features, including the most asked for
  51. feature: the stacked & tabbed window layouts, which is under development from
  52. Mikkel Oscar Lyderik. He's given me this screenshot to tease you with:
  54. ![](https://sr.ht/0CkR.png)
  56. All of this is only possible thanks to the hard work of dozens of contributors.
  57. Here's the breakdown of **lines of code per author** for the top ten authors
  58. (with the difference from the previous State of Sway in parenthesis):
  60. <table class="table">
  61.     <tbody>
  62.         <tr><td>4307 (+3180)</td><td>Mikkel Oscar Lyderik</td></tr>
  63.         <tr><td>3059 (-457)</td><td>Drew DeVault</td></tr>
  64.         <tr><td>2285 (+115)</td><td>taiyu</td></tr>
  65.         <tr><td>1826 (+40)</td><td>S. Christoffer Eliesen</td></tr>
  66.         <tr><td>682 (-38)</td><td>Luminarys</td></tr>
  67.         <tr><td>544 (+544)</td><td>Cole Mickens</td></tr>
  68.         <tr><td>515 (-19)</td><td>minus</td></tr>
  69.         <tr><td>385 (+185)</td><td>Christoph Gysin</td></tr>
  70.         <tr><td>345 (+266)</td><td>Kevin Hamacher</td></tr>
  71.         <tr><td>166 (+45)</td><td>crondog</td></tr>
  72.     </tbody>
  73. </table>
  75. Once again, I'm no longer the author of the most lines of code. Sway now
  76. has a grand total of 15,422 lines of C and 2,787 lines of headers. Here's the
  77. total **number of commits per author** for each of the top 10
  78. committers:
  80. <table class="table">
  81.     <tbody>
  82.         <tr><td>688</td><td> Drew DeVault</td></tr>
  83.         <tr><td>212</td><td> Mikkel Oscar Lyderik</td></tr>
  84.         <tr><td>191</td><td> taiyu</td></tr>
  85.         <tr><td>109</td><td> S. Christoffer Eliesen</td></tr>
  86.         <tr><td>97</td><td> Luminarys</td></tr>
  87.         <tr><td>58</td><td> Christoph Gysin</td></tr>
  88.         <tr><td>34</td><td> minus</td></tr>
  89.         <tr><td>18</td><td> crondog</td></tr>
  90.         <tr><td>13</td><td> Yacine Hmito</td></tr>
  91.         <tr><td>12</td><td> progandy</td></tr>
  92.     </tbody>
  93. </table>
  95. As the maintainer of sway, *a lot* of what I do is reviewing and merging
  96. contributions from others. So these statistics change a bit if we use **number
  97. of commits per author, excluding merge commits**:
  99. <table class="table">
  100.     <tbody>
  101.         <tr><td>343</td><td> Drew DeVault</td></tr>
  102.         <tr><td>201</td><td> Mikkel Oscar Lyderik</td></tr>
  103.         <tr><td>175</td><td> taiyu</td></tr>
  104.         <tr><td>109</td><td> S. Christoffer Eliesen</td></tr>
  105.         <tr><td>96</td><td> Luminarys</td></tr>
  106.         <tr><td>58</td><td> Christoph Gysin</td></tr>
  107.         <tr><td>34</td><td> minus</td></tr>
  108.         <tr><td>18</td><td> crondog</td></tr>
  109.         <tr><td>13</td><td> Yacine Hmito</td></tr>
  110.         <tr><td>12</td><td> progandy</td></tr>
  111.     </tbody>
  112. </table>
  114. These stats only cover the top ten in each, but there are more - check out the
  115. [full list](https://github.com/SirCmpwn/sway/graphs/contributors). Hopefully
  116. next time I write a blog post like this, we'll be well into the lifetime of Sway
  117. 1.0!
