v0.2.82026-10-21release ↗

• A website (GitHub Pages, https://theyashsawarkar.github.io/vyom/): the README as a home page, the changelog, and architecture decision records (docs/adr/), built from these files by scripts/build-site.py; CI checks the site is up to date.

v0.2.72026-10-21release ↗

• Documentation for open source: a logo and banner, a full README (features, install, usage, configuration, troubleshooting, the whole Vyom family), CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY and CODE_OF_CONDUCT, issue and pull request templates, and CI (compiles, checks the version has a changelog entry).

v0.2.62026-10-19release ↗

• Cards (power menu, battery, quick settings) keep the tool's own width and are as tall as their content; the shared size is for search tools.
• [vyom] opacity (default 0.72, was a fixed 0.82): how much of the blurred desktop shows through every panel.

v0.2.52026-10-19release ↗

• Every panel opens at the same size: [vyom] width x height (default 900 x 520, times scale), so switching tools never jumps. A tool's own width/height now only apply to an anchored panel (kendra). Card tools fill the panel; ui.spacer() pushes a footer to the bottom.

v0.2.42026-10-19release ↗

• Footer key hints show the keys as key caps with their names (Ctrl+Enter, Shift+Enter, Esc) instead of symbols (⌃↵, ⇧↵): vyom.ui.hint_label() and keycap_markup() for tools that build their own footer.

v0.2.32026-10-19release ↗

• Fixed: moving down a long list stopped scrolling once the selection left the visible part. Rows were measured against the scrolled window's Viewport (only the visible area), so a row below it looked visible. They're measured against the list itself now.

v0.2.22026-10-19release ↗

• Bigger panels: every tool's size times [vyom] scale (default 1.25), never more than 90% of the screen, so it adapts to smaller displays. The preview column scales with it.

v0.2.12026-10-19release ↗

• vyom dmenu panels are dialog-sized (640x340) instead of launcher-sized: they usually hold a handful of choices (Accept / Reject, Update now / Later).

v0.2.02026-10-19release ↗

Vyom is now the runtime for a family of tools, each in its own repository (dvara, ganit, smriti, bhava, tarang, setu, doot, patra, suchana, raga, mudra, urja, vishram, kendra): together they replace wofi (and nwg-bar) in Vayu.

• A plugin API (vyom/plugin.py): a tool is a directory with plugin.toml and a package exporting Plugin, found in ~/.local/share/vyom/plugins/ and $VYOM_PLUGIN_PATH. A tool whose requires are missing, or whose available() says no, is skipped with the reason (vyom list); one that fails to load doesn't stop the rest.
• One shared panel (vyom/panel.py): a centered (or anchored) layer-shell window with a mode pill, the query, rows with icon tiles (Nerd Font glyphs, theme icons or images), sections, badges, a grid layout, an optional fixed-width preview pane, a card layout, and key hints in the footer. Searches run in a worker thread with stale results dropped; live refreshes while open.
• Keys everywhere: Up/Down or Ctrl+K/J, Page Up/Down, Enter (with Shift / Ctrl variants per tool), Tab to the next tool, Esc (the tool sees it first, e.g. to cancel a password prompt).
• vyom dmenu: any script's picker as a Vyom panel (stdin lines, the pick on stdout, exit 1 on Esc; Shift+Enter returns what you typed). Killed while waiting, it closes its panel.
• vyom <tool> [args] starts the daemon if needed (logs to ~/.local/state/vyom/daemon.log); the same call again closes the panel. Every panel is built when the daemon starts, so even the first open is instant.
• vyom.ui (building blocks for previews and cards) and vyom.util (run, spawn, copy, type, notify, state files, fuzzy matching with a strict substring mode for big lists).
• Quick settings moved out into its own tool, kendra. Install layout: Vyom in ~/.local/share/vyom/core, tools in ~/.local/share/vyom/plugins.

v0.1.12026-10-19release ↗

• vyom daemon builds the panels right away, so the first vyom quick after login is as fast as the rest (it took ~600 ms while the tile checks ran on first use).
• The Wi-Fi tile reads NetworkManager's cached scan (--rescan no): without it the network name could take seconds to appear.

v0.1.02026-10-19release ↗

• First release: quick settings. A layer-shell panel under the bar's top-right corner with a header (greeting, uptime, battery with time to full / left, lock and power buttons), eight tiles (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, hotspot, Do not disturb, caffeine, dark theme, new wallpaper, power profile) and volume / brightness sliders.
• One resident GTK process; vyom quick toggles it over D-Bus (org.gtk.Actions), measured at ~95 ms to open and ~60 ms to close from the key press, most of it the launcher's Python start.
• Tiles refresh in background threads after the panel shows, so slow tools never hold it up. Tiles whose tool or hardware is missing are left out (no Bluetooth controller, backlight, battery, power-profiles).
• Built-ins use nmcli, bluetoothctl, makoctl, gsettings, powerprofilesctl, wpctl and brightnessctl; any tile can be driven by your own commands in ~/.config/vyom/config.toml (examples/config.toml).
• The panel fills its layer surface exactly so SwayFX's layer_effects "vyom" blur and corner radius line up with it.
