Mir 2.19 Released With Atomic KMS Platform Support, New Wayland Protocols

([Ubuntu] 4 Hours Ago Mir 2.19)


Mir 2.19 is out today as the newest version of this Ubuntu/Canonical project making it easier for other desktops/environments to embrace Wayland support. This set of libraries for building Wayland-based shells has added a few new features with today's update.

Mir 2.19 introduces initial atomic KMS platform support, the X11 kiosk support has been further enhanced, there is now support for the xdg_activation_v1 protocol, and other updates.

Plus there are a handful of bug fixes to address problems with resizing of XWayland apps using client side decorations, fixing a stuck-frame-after-mode-switch bug, and other random fixes.

Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp! cries she
With silent lips. Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me...
