Wayland / Weston 1.3.0 / 1.3.1 / 1.4 Description

Wayland is an open source and simpler replacement for X11 providing a bug-free display server for Linux-based operating systems.Wayland itself is not a X11 server, it's actually just a compositor's protocol to talk to clients such as Weston, which can run as an X client.Other clients for Wayland can be a standalone server (fullscreen or rootless) or an X application. A C library implementation of Wayland is also available.Weston is a reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, which can run under Linux KMS or as an X client.GNOME and KDE are the first desktop environments to be ported to Wayland. What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]The 1.3.92 snapshot was a little lightweight: I didn't do 1.3.92 tar balls or formal release and we had a problem with the 1.3.92 snapshots where the configure versions for those tags were 1.3.91. However, for weston, the 1.3.92 relase had around 60 commits, 50 of which were bug fixes and I feel like we got the quality under control again. I count around 11 additional fixes in this release and then we have a lot of good commits from Artie to fix various static analyzer issues. We'll run this through QA and then if all goes well, we should be ready to release 1.4 this Thursday, Jan 23. I don't expect we'll touch the code much between now and then, but do let me know if there's anything we might be missing. �.You can free download Wayland / Weston 1.3.0 / 1.3.1 / 1.4 from Softpedia now.
