stable release of the composite server , developing technologies that facilitate full support for the protocol in Enlightenment, GNOME, KDE, and other desktop environments. The development of Weston aims to provide a high-quality code base and working examples for using Wayland in desktop environments and embedded solutions, such as platforms for automotive infotainment systems, smartphones, televisions, and other consumer devices.
The new release of the protocol, inter-process communication mechanism, and Wayland libraries is expected later.
The significant version number change of Weston is due to ABI changes that break compatibility. Changes in Weston:
- A kiosk-shell has been implemented, allowing individual applications to be launched in full-screen mode separately. This new shell can be useful for creating internet kiosks, demonstration stands, electronic signage, and self-service terminals.
- The testing infrastructure has been improved. Support for DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) texts has been added. The continuous integration system now includes tests for DRM and OpenGL.
- Support for the DRM/KMS property to determine the orientation of the LCD panel has been added ().
