The current stable version of Dunst is 1.13.0 released on August 4 2025.
Since the last release there have been many contributions. While most of the changes were “behind the scenes”, there are still some new features.
With the new remove_current action, you will be able to close and directly remove
from history a notification.
Now you can set a pause level at startup with the default_pause_level setting.
The Wayland support has seen several improvements (special thanks to @pslldq).
Meson build system was added alongside the existing Makefile. While support for make will be kept for future releases, we might eventually transitioning fully to the new system. Meson support is still considered experimental and may still have issues.
Take a look at the changelog for all the bug fixes and improvements.
