This full packed release comes with three new staging protocols:

  • system bell - allowing e.g. terminal emulators to hand off system bell alerts to the compositor for among other things accessibility purposes

  • fifo - for implementing first in first out surface content update behavior

  • commit timing - for adding time constraints to surface content update

Other than this, the presentation timing protocol protocol got a version minor bump describing how to deal with variable refresh rate.

Other protocols saw the regular clarifications and bug fixes, and some deprecated events is now properly indicated as such in the XML. Please see individual commits for details.

        Sure but I think the core devs should focus on it. It is a big thing that is important (especially for a piece of always changing beta software like Wayland) yet still missing.

          we all have our most wanted missing features but if i’m being honest i don’t see how session saving should take priority over e.g. rendering protocols

            What’s wrong with rendering? It seems to have everything needed for most users. Driver issues don’t exactly count here because they’re not a part of Wayland. However session saving is very important for any work, especially office tasks. It’s becoming critical now when all major DEs make Wayland the default.
