Happy Hyprland 0.40.0!

This is a massive update, with mostly changes under-the-hood, but also many QoL additions and fixes!

A lot of wlroots implementations have been rewritten to use Hyprland-made ones. More will come, but this release also serves as a real test to their stability.

Notes for packagers

  • New dependencies: hyprwayland-scanner (build only), uuid
  • Note: this release requires hw-s = 0.3.4 (0.3.5 will fail to build this release.)
