Things started very slowly and the review backlog grew enormous, as Kristian was no longer heroically reviewing and committing everything, and everyone had their own $jobs to do. Collabora agreed to let me run the alpha release as I had a convenient break from other projects, so you could say this release is brought to you by Collabora. ;-) Also, a huge thank you to all contributors! I will leave the list of new things for the final 1.6.0 announcement, but I probably should mention xdg-shell now. Just before this alpha release, we bumped the xdg-shell experimental version[1]. This means that the world breaks, as the experimental version must be matched exactly. Jasper will be bumping Mutter and Gtk to match. We expect to have another bump before 1.6.0 is out, but after that I think it will be solid. Then, in 1.7.0 we plan to move the xdg-shell.xml file into Wayland, to be installed as a stable protocol for everyone to use, and projects can throw away their private copies of xdg-shell.xml. That would be the point where xdg-shell starts to guarantee backwards compatibility. The 1.7.0 release should be the last flag day for xdg-shell. </blockquote><div> </div><div>One small note here. Even if we don't make any changes to xdg_shell between 1.6 and 1.7, the universe will break again at 1.7. This is because we'll pull the experimental_version request which changes the order of things. Do we have a plan for how to keep this from going too badly? </div><div>--Jason Ekstrand </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I'll be updating the website with download links soon.
