Release v0.0.8

🚀 fancylock v0.0.8 – “Centralized Security, Dynamic Display”

This release brings major architectural improvements, smarter resolution handling, visual polish, and a faster, more unified approach to lockout logic. Designed to make your lockscreen smarter, leaner, and more adaptable—no matter your display setup.

---

🔐 Pam.d service file

• PAM rules optimized for faster password checks.

🛡️ Lockout Logic Consolidation

• Introduced a LockoutManager to unify lockout behavior across X11 and Wayland.
• Lockout policies are now centrally managed, reducing duplicated logic and ensuring consistent security enforcement.
• Cleaner codebase with lockout logic abstracted into lockout.go.

📺 Smarter Multi-Monitor & Resolution Handling

• Wayland implementation no longer relies on hardcoded resolutions like 3840x2160.
• New getSurfaceDimensions() helper dynamically adapts to your monitor layout.
• Uses fallback dimensions only when necessary, improving compatibility with unusual setups.

🔐 UI & UX Improvements

• Lock screen now appears only after the shake animation completes—no more overlapping visuals.
• Updated intruder message:

  INTRUDER ALERT
  Security cooldown engaged
  <timer>
  

• Improved feedback and better timed transitions during lockout events.

🎶 Multi-Monitor Audio Enhancement

• Each monitor can now play more unique media independently, enhancing the multi-display experience.

🧼 Internal Cleanup & Packaging

• Moved common types to internal/types.go for better modularity.
• Removed verbose debug/info logs by default. You can now opt-in to nerdy logs.
• Arch AUR package updated:
  • Installs the proper pam.d file.

---

🚧 Upcoming for future versions:

• For sure: Improved X11 lockscreen messages. Quite ugly now.
• For sure: Be able to set the lockout message when 3 wrong passwords are entered.
• Maybe: Consolidate drawing logic for wayland/x11. Not sure if this has a benefit yet.
• Maybe: Instead of running mpv commands, use a go library to display videos/images.

fancylock v0.0.8 continues our mission of secure, polished, and elegant screen locking on Wayland and X11. ✨

Release v0.0.7

🚀 FancyLock v0.0.7

This release is packed with security, usability, and visual improvements for an even fancier screen locking experience.

✨ New Features

• Custom PAM Service
  Now uses its own PAM config to bypass faillock lockouts, preventing extended lockouts from repeated login failures.

• Built-in Font
  No more font issues—fonts are now baked into the binary.

🖼️ UI Improvements

• Larger Password Dots and Lockout Messages
  Clearer, more prominent visuals across all monitors.

• Big "LOCKED" and Timer
  Makes it unmistakable that the screen is locked, and how long until retry.

🔐 Security & Stability

• SecurePassword Handling
  Passwords are now stored in memory-safe structures with zero-wipe protection.

• PAM Lockout Logic
  Improved lockout visuals and retry timers, complete with countdown and shaking animation.

• Wayland & Hyprland Fixes
  Fixed crashes on authentication flow and resource leaks, especially under Hyprland.

• Post-Unlock Delay
  Small delay after unlocking ensures all Wayland resources clean up cleanly.

🧠 Internal Improvements

• Switched from xrandr command to native XRandR extension
  No more shelling out to detect monitors—FancyLock now uses Go-native X11 calls for speed and reliability.

• Mutex Protection
  Thread-safe access to shared resources like media processes and lock state.

• Better Logging & Error Handling
  Log clarity improved across authentication, monitor detection, and media handling.

[auto] go fmt applied to staged files

Release v0.0.3

project structure, build system & git hooks.

Main new thing for the release
