Wayland 1.25 Released With Color Management Now Fully Documented

([Wayland] 40 Minutes Ago Wayland 1.25)


Simon Ser just released Wayland 1.25.

Following the [1]1.25 release candidate earlier this month, version 1.25 is now stable for this core code around Wayland.

This includes Wayland's documentation concerning its content update model and color management being fully documented. On a technical note they have converted documentation from DocBook format to mdBook.

Wayland 1.25 also adds a new "frozen" attribute for interfaces with multiple parent interfaces, a new wl_surface.get_release request for per-commit buffer release callbacks, and a new wl_display_dispatch_pending_single() function to dispatch a single event.

In slightly easing the debugging experience, the output from WAYLAND_DEBUG is now colorized for a modern TUI experience.

More details on today's Wayland 1.25 release via [2]the mailing list announcement .

If you have received a letter inviting you to speak at the dedication of a
new cat hospital, and you hate cats, your reply, declining the invitation,
does not necessarily have to cover the full range of your emotions. You must
make it clear that you will not attend, but you do not have to let fly at cats.
The writer of the letter asked a civil question; attack cats, then, only if
you can do so with good humor, good taste, and in such a way that your answer
will be courteous as well as responsive. Since you are out of sympathy with
cats, you may quite properly give this as a reason for not appearing at the
dedication ceremonies of a cat hospital. But bear in mind that your opinion
of cats was not sought, only your services as a speaker. Try to keep things
straight.
