Hyprland 0.54 was released today as what's described as a "a massive update with no understatement" to this Wayland compositor.

Hyprland 0.54 introduces support for per-workspace layouts or for per-monitor layouts. Hyprland layouts are designed now to be simpler and easier to maintain. With the layout improvements, there is also a new "monocle" layout and the "hyprscrolling" plugin has been moved into core.

In addition to overhauling the layouts, Hyprland 0.54 brings "massive" performance improvements especially for integrated graphics. The Hyprland performance is improved "anywhere from 50% to 500%" depending upon your hardware.

There are also a number of fixes and other improvements with Hyprland 0.54 as outlined on GitHub and the Hyprland project site.
