Simon Ser announced the release today of Wayland 1.25 RC1 (Wayland v1.24.91) in working toward this next stable release.
Wayland 1.25 isn't too exciting for end-users but for developers is a bit more interesting. Wayland 1.25 RC1 features documentation improvements, including converting from DockBook to mdBook. Wayland 1.25 RC1 also now has full documentation on Wayland's XML dialect, the content update model, and Wayland color management. All important for especially new developers getting involved with Wayland. Another developer helper coming with Wayland 1.25 is the WAYLAND_DEBUG output now being colorized for more easily parsing the debug output in modern terminals.
Wayland 1.25 has also been preparing a "frozen" attribute for interfaces with multiple parent interfaces, a wl_surface.get_release request for per-commit buffer release callbacks, and wl_display_dispatch_pending_single() for dispatching a single event.
