+
+Hey hey people, vaxry here. It's time for a new Hyprland update, after 2 months or so.
+
+## Breaking changes
+
+- The gesture system has been reworked and is now way more flexible. Thus, the old `gestures:workspace_swipe`,
+`gestures:workspace_swipe_fingers` and `gestures:workspace_swipe_min_fingers` are gone.
+
+- `animations:first_launch_animation` is gone, use the new `monitorAdded` animation leaf.
+
+## New stuff
+
+A bunch of new stuff has landed. Some highlights include:
+
+### Reworked trackpad gestures
+
+You can now set new 1:1 gestures for fingers, modifiers and directions. For example, you can have a pinch gesture with 3 fingers close your
+windows, while a horizontal swipe swipes your workspaces, while a vertical swipe pulls up a special workspace.
+Possibilities are endless!
+
+Check the new [gestures wiki page](https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Gestures/) for more.
+
+### Other
+
+- New `dim_modal` config option for controlling the dimming of parent windows with a modal dialog
+- New `hyprctl getprop` option
+- `scroll_factor` can now be set in per-device configs
+- master: new `ignoremaster` with `swapwithmaster`, new `previous` mode for `focusmaster`
+- New `cursor:invisible` option to hide the cursor altogether
+- New dpms animations
+- Wayland-native popups now have fade in/out animations
+- Screensharing now forces 8-bit by default (fixes chromium / firefox screensharing on wide color gamut displays)
+- New `novrr` windowrule.
+
+
+## Fixes
+
+Tons of fixes as usual:
+
+- Fixed xwayland games blacking out forever in some cases
+- Fixed workspace persistence tracking
+- Fixed bad json in `hyprctl descriptions`
+- Fixed crashes for invalid monitor modes
+- Fixed screensharing colors with wide color gamuts
+- Improved UV calculations for smoother animations of slow surfaces
+- Fixed invalid workspaces in `openwindow` on socket2
+- Fixed windows' decorations disappearing if main surface was offscreen
+- Tons more!
