New layout system just dropped

[Ottatop]

What is poppin' my Sky Shredders and Flying Fortresses,

We've got a new layout system! It's built on the same idea that powers River's layout generators, namely that you now have the ability to tell the compositor the specific geometries of windows for layouting.

As a result, the old layout system has been removed and old configs will break.

As a plus, we've now got window gaps!

The system has been designed to be user configurable, so you can write up your own layouts. Unfortunately there are no docs on how to do that yet sooo I guess go dig around in the source code for now?

Yes, it's a little rough around the edges i.e. I don't think you can change layout settings dynamically in the Rust API yet, but hey it's a whole lot better than what we had before! And it now also has Awesome's fair layout, which is weird because that's the only layout I use and I've just now only added it.

Also sloppy focus was added who knows how long ago

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got exams that I've been procrastinating studying on 🙃

Edit: oh yea the Lua API reference is borked lmao

This is great that Pinnacle's progressing. Yet, more important, good luck and enjoy your studies.
