Isaac Freund released version 0.4.0 of river, a Wayland compositor that separates the window manager into a distinct program rather than combining it with the compositor as traditional designs do. The new river-window-management-v1 protocol allows window managers full control over policy while the compositor handles rendering and low-level operations, maintaining the performance and input latency advantages of Wayland architecture.
