River 0.4.0 is released, introducing the river-window-management-v1 protocol!
See my blog post for an in-depth explanation of the protocol: https://isaacfreund.com/blog/river-window-management/
The video for my FOSDEM talk, Separating the Wayland Compositor and Window Manager is online now!
I thought it went very well except for the demo of course, I really should have automated it fully with a script or just showed screenshots of various window managers instead.
I did get tons of questions and positive feedback :)
I'm giving a talk at FOSDEM this Sunday and will be around all weekend https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/GR8BFE-separating_the_wayland_compositor_and_window_manager/

@ben@kwiecien.us The original issue that motivated my work on this might be interesting to read if you're curious: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259785
This issue doesn't cover the other bugs with the old scheduler like what bapt mentioned though, I'm not sure if those are well documented somewhere.
Replying to
@meka@bsd.network That does sound like an issue but it's not related to the new scheduler. The scheduler is only responsible for the ordering of install/delete/upgrade jobs, not determining which packages to install/delete/upgrade.
