Canonical has released a new version of the Display Server Mir 1.2.
Key Changes:
- The new package libmirwayland-dev, which is the first iteration of the API for integrating shell environments based on Mir (to support custom Wayland extensions).
- Several related additions for the MirAL API.
- Support for registering custom Wayland extensions has been added to WaylandExtensions.
- A new class MinimalWindowManager, providing default window management settings.
- Work continues on experimental support for X11. It is now possible to run Xwayland when needed.
- List of supported Wayland extensions (some are included, others need to be enabled manually): wl_shell (enabled), xdg_wm_base (enabled), zxdg_shell_v6 (enabled), zwlr_layer_shell_v1 (disabled), zxdg_output_v1 (disabled).
- Multiple fixes.
Currently, Mir is used in Embedded and IoT environments, and also serves as a compositor server for Wayland, allowing the execution of any Wayland applications in its environment.
