Hyprland v0.56.2

Reload your configuration from the ground up with hyprctl reload full-reset without crashing the compositor.

Before you upgrade to v0.56.2

`hyprctl monitors` and `hyprctl monitors -j` print `scale`, `sdrBrightness`, `sdrSaturation` and `sdrMinLuminance` at full precision instead of rounded to two decimals.

Behavior changedControl the compositor and react to its events from scripts through hyprctl and a socket.Affects: Scripts and tools that parse these fields from `hyprctl monitors` output

What changed in v0.56.2

`hyprctl reload full-reset` no longer registers every config value twice and crashes; `hyprctl monitors` prints `scale`, `sdrBrightness`, `sdrSaturation` and `sdrMinLuminance` unrounded. IME popups draw above every layer and the lock screen, and on the scrolling layout `focus` in a direction leaves a fullscreen window.

Also: Screen-share window capture shows the software cursor again; popups on keyboard-exclusive layers get mouse events; sendshortcut works from binds with a modifier; gaps_out no longer overrides float_gaps; mirror rules apply when the target connects later; LuaLS stub covers more hl functions.

Hyprland v0.56.2, a patch release of fixes backported from main; no new dependencies.

Fixed and improved

IME popups draw above every layer, including overlay layers and the lock screen, take pointer input first, and show only while the field that requested them has keyboard focus.

ImprovedType with an input method or on-screen input panel through native Wayland support.

`focus` in a direction moves off a fullscreen window instead of being blocked (needs `binds:movefocus_cycles_fullscreen` on and `misc:on_focus_under_fullscreen` not 0), and leaving fullscreen places the window by `scrolling:focus_fit_method` again.

ImprovedArrange windows in a scrolling layout: columns side by side on a strip that scrolls left, right, up or down.
