Regolith 3.0 Release Notes #

Regolith 3.0 is a major release focusing on a new Wayland-based session, Debian 12, and Ubuntu 23.04 support.

New Major Features #

• Ubuntu 23.04 (lunar) support
• Debian 12 (Bookworm) support
• Alpha release of Wayland session based on the Sway compositor (See migration guide)

Migration Guide #

Important information for existing Regolith users

1. The directory for user-staged configuration files has changed from ~/.config/regolith2 to ~/.config/regolith3.
2. To generalize across X11 and Wayland sessions, Xresource keys have been renamed to remove “i3-”. This means that users with XResource overrides on earlier versions of Regolith will need to update the key names. Specifically, keys starting with i3-wm now start with wm. For example, in Regolith 2.x to change gaps size, i3-wm.gaps.inner.size is being renamed to wm.gaps.inner.size in Regolith 3.0.
3. Some functionality may now require you to install certain packages manually. An example here is the regolith-wm-user-programs package that runs programs defined in your Regolith configuration declared by wm.program.<N>:.
