Less than a week after the previous 0.53 release, Hyprland, a favorite among fans of eye-pleasing tiling window compositors, has just rolled out version 0.53.1 as a small maintenance update focused exclusively on stability and correctness.

Several of the addressed issues relate directly to window and desktop management. The update corrects the slide direction used by desktop animations, and restores expected behavior when switching focus inside window groups, ensuring the compositor reliably returns to the previously focused window.
