Niri 0.1.3 Wayland Compositor Brings Touch Support, New Animations

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Niri is an interesting scrollable tiling Wayland compositor inspired by PaperWM that has been gaining user interest in recent months.

This weekend marked the v0.1.3 release of this Wayland compositor.

Niri 0.1.3 rolls out support for touchpad gestures, touchscreen support is also wired up now for this compositor, physics-based spring animations have been implemented as part of the gestures work, support for gradient borders rather than simple solid color borders, wlr-screencopy support for screenshot handling, refactored window creation flow, systemd scopes, and a variety of other improvements and fixes.

Niri 0.1.3 has also made improvements for those wanting to run this compositor in environments without systemd.
