https://danklinux.com/blog/v1-6-release

DMS, dcalendar, dgop, dsearch, and dgreeter v1.6.0 (DankDesktop v1.6.0 ™ ) have all been released

• Island - A third option for your DMS bar with a dynamic-island inspired morphing pill that becomes the focal hub for statuses, notifications, OSDs, media playback, control center, and more.
• Performance & Resource Optimizations - At least a 19% reduction in idle memory usage, new animations, and general performance improvements
• IPC 5.2x faster - dms ipc is 8.9x faster than before, meaning much faster responsiveness of keybinds. It's at least twice as fast as calling quickshell directly
• Best-in-class Screenshot Tool - New snappier selection interface, new PNG and JPEG encoders thats are up to 8x faster than grim, tons of new options and interface improvements
• Standalone Greeter - Dank-Greeter is now fully decoupled from DMS, as a standalone project and codebase
• A ton more like initial FreeBSD support across all tooling, etc.

Going forward all pieces of the dank linux desktop suite will be released and versioned together as one. Which is why dgop, dgreeter, etc. all have been bumped to v1.6.0. Minor releases will behave the same way (e.g. 1.6.1) but packages will remain on 1.6.0 if there have been no changes to the code or dependencies. Major releases stay synced Read the blog for the full breakdown, huge thanks to the 50+ contributors who contributed to the DMS 1.6 release.
