Wayfire 0.10 Wayland Compositor Brings Experimental Vulkan Rendering

([Wayland] 75 Minutes Ago Wayfire 0.10)


Wayfire 0.10 was released this week and its integration with the underlying wlroots rendering code has been overhauled. In turn this opens up Wayfire to having experimental support for rendering using the Vulkan API.

Wayfire delivers on experimental support for rendering using the Vulkan API. Additionally, the wlroots' Pixman rendering code path can also be used as another alternative to the OpenGL / GLES back-end. The rendering updates for wlroots also now supports color management and per-output color profiles.

Wayfire 0.10 also adds per-device input configuration support as another nice addition for this Wayland compositor.

Wayfire 0.10 also brings new animations, new IPC methods, support for wlroots 0.19, XWayland startup script support, and other enhancements.

History shows that the human mind, fed by constant accessions of knowledge,
periodically grows too large for its theoretical coverings, and bursts
them asunder to appear in new habiliments, as the feeding and growing
grub, at intervals, casts its too narrow skin and assumes another...
Truly the imago state of Man seems to be terribly distant, but every
moult is a step gained.
