I will fix it as quickly as possible because I also daily drive it and\nI want my setup to be super stable.\n\nAPI breaking change is documented with exclamation mark (`!`) in the commit\nmessage as per [conventional commits specification][conventional-commits].\nAPIs that derived from AwesomeWM are unlikely to get a change therefore\nguaranteed not to break your configuration.\n\n## Features\n\n- Very configurable, fast, and lightweight.\n- Hot reload configuration support.\n- Can be used as floating/tiling window manager.\n- Tabbed windows.\n- Tags instead of workspaces.\n- Documented Lua API.\n- wlr protocols support.\n- Multihead support with hotplugging and restore.\n\n## Building and installation\n\nRequired dependencies:\n\n- wayland\n- wlroots 0.19\n- hyprcursor\n- cairo\n- xkbcommon\n- libinput\n- xxhash\n- LuaJIT\n- Xwayland\n- xcb\n\nLua library dependencies:\n\n- LGI\n- cairo with support for GObject introspection\n- Pango with support for GObject introspection\n\nDev dependencies:\n\n- meson\n- ninja\n- wayland-protocols\n- clang-format \u0026 EmmyLuaCodeStyle (formatting)\n\n### Manual\n\n```console\n$ git clone https://github.com/Cudiph/cwcwm/\n$ cd cwcwm\n$ make\n$ sudo make install\n```\n\nCwC now should be available in your display manager or execute `cwc` in a tty.\n\nTo clear the installation and build artifacts, you can execute:\n\n```console\n$ sudo make uninstall\n$ make clean\n```\n\n### AUR\n\nAUR package is available under the package name [cwc][cwc] or [cwc-git][cwc-git] for the git version.\n\n```console\n$ yay -S cwc\n$ yay -S cwc-git\n```\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eScreenshot\u003c/h2\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99c3681a-e68c-4936-84be-586d8b2f04ad\" alt=\"screenshot\" /\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n## Credits\n\nCwC contains verbatim or modified works from these awesome projects:\n\n- [awesome](https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome)\n- [dwl](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl)\n- [Hikari](https://hub.darcs.net/raichoo/hikari)\n- [Hyprland](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland)\n- [Sway](https://github.com/swaywm/sway)\n- [TinyWL](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots)\n\nSee [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) for license details.\n\n\u003c!-------------------- links --------------------\u003e\n\n[getting_started]: https://cudiph.github.io/cwc/apidoc/documentation/00-getting-started.md.html\n[github-issue]: https://github.com/Cudiph/cwcwm/issues\n[conventional-commits]: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#commit-message-with--to-draw-attention-to-breaking-change\n[cwc]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cwc\n[cwc-git]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cwc-git\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcudiph%2Fcwcwm","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcudiph%2Fcwcwm","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcudiph%2Fcwcwm/lists"}
