+[We are currently in the process of update the code-base to use the wlroots
+scene-graph API](https://github.com/johanmalm/labwc/tree/scene)
+
+Tag 0.5.0 is the last minor release before the move to scene-graph. An
+associated v0.5 branch exists for patches and patch-tags if needed. It's
+not envisaged that new features will be added on that branch though.
+
+## 0.5.0 (2022-02-18)
+
+This release contains the following two breaking changes:
+
+1. Disabling outputs now causes views to be re-arranged, so in the
+ context of idle system power management (for example when using
+ swaylock), it is no longer suitable to call wlr-randr {--off,--on}
+ to enable/disable outputs.
+
+2. The "Drag" mouse-event and the unmaximize-on-move feature require
+ slightly different `<mousebind>` settings to feel natural, so suggest
+ updating any local `rc.xml` settings in accordance with
+ `docs/rc.xml.all`
+
+As usual, this release contains a bunch of fixes and improvements, of
+which the most notable feature-type changes are listed below. A big
+thank you to @ARDiDo, @Consolatis and @jlindgren90 for much of the hard
+work.
+
+- Render overlay layer popups to support sfwbar (issue #239)
+
+- Support HiDPI on-screen-display images for outputs with different scales
+
+- Reload environment variables on SIGHUPi (issue #227)
+
+- Add client menu
+
+- Allow applications to start in fullscreen
+
+- Add config option `<core><cycleViewPreview>` to preview the contents
+ of each view when cycling through them (for example using alt-tab).
+
+- Allow mouse movements to trigger SnapToEdge. When dragging a view, move
+ the cursor outside an output to snap in that direction.
+
+- Unmaximize on Move
+
+- Support wlroots environment variable `WLR_{WL,X11}_OUTPUTS` for running
+ in running nested in X11 or a wlroots compositor.
+
+- Support pointer gestures (pinch/swipe)
+
+- Adjust views to account for output layout changes
