Well, well.

The biggest Hyprland update in its history has just dropped. Almost 200 commits, over 25000 lines changed. A lot of things added, and continuing work on detaching from wlroots. Enjoy!

As with 0.40, there is a lot of internal work going on detaching from wlroots, so some bugs are to be expected. However, many from 0.40 have been ironed out, so give 0.41 a try!
