- Description:
- River is a non-monolithic Wayland compositor. Unlike other Wayland compositors,
river does not combine the compositor and window manager into one program.
Instead, users can choose any window manager implementing the
river-window-management-v1 protocol.
Note: river is currently early in development. Expect breaking changes
and missing features. Bugs should however be rare at this point, if
you run into one don't hesitate to open an issue upstream.

- If upgrading from < 0.4.0:
- river 0.4.0+ is a breaking release and splits the compositor and window
manager into separate processes. The river compositor no longer includes
a window manager, instead users can choose any window manager implementing
the protocol.
If you are happy with how river 0.3 works and do not want to change your
setup, please consider switching to x11-wm/river-classic, a maintained
fork of river 0.3.
