The SHA1s are: 6183108a3bffb204c05b7f37b763b6278760572d wayland-1.6.0.tar.xz 339e83aa579569711cd14623ca4b2db46256b766 wayland 1.6.0 tag f3c801f0610b605cda45a017b475c10f2d3b7dbb weston-1.6.0.tar.xz 2858cc2a50854685b44eee72994dea57f5aa4246 weston 1.6.0 tag Website update with download links will follow soon. Here are some notable changes. Wayland - Add error enums to wl_surface. - Add keyboard repeat information to wl_keyboard protocol. - Error handling additions in libwayland-client: when a protocol error happens, the program can query more detailed information about the error. This is mostly useful for tests to ensure correct errors. - New wl_display_add_socket_auto() in libwayland-server: automatically find a free socket name. - Many added tests to the 'make check' suite, including a framework for testing server-client interactions more easily. - Threading and blocking related bug fixes. - Add wl_display_roundtrip_queue(): blocking round-trip on a custom queue. - Stop exposing wl_display global. Turns out binding to the global would have triggered bugs, and there was no proper use for it. Weston - Xdg-shell protocol changes. Yes, we broke it again since 1.5.0. - Add weston_layer masking mechanism. - DRM-backend: fetch cursor size from the kernel - keyboard repeat rate support, sent from compositor to clients, configurable. - Use wl_display_add_socket_auto(): no need to specify the socket anymore when running Weston under Weston, it just works now. - Use libinput by default. The non-libinput input backend is still there right now, but it will be removed for 1.7. - A few more desktop-shell configuration bits. - 'make distcheck' actually works OOTB without custom tweaks (by disabling the xwayland test for distcheck for now). - Exit Weston, if weston-desktop-shell dies too early. Should help with one class of "just black screen" problems. - Option to force numlock on at start on DRM and fbdev backends. - Many bug fixes, of course. The 1.7 development cycle starts next week. The schedule up to 1.7.0 release is: - 1.7-alpha release in mid-January 2015, around January 16th, so people have a couple of weeks after holidays to push the last minute stuff. This is the deadline for any big features. - 1.7-rc1 around January 30th. Only bug fixes after this. - 1.7-rc2 around February 6th. - 1.7.0 release around February 13th, Friday.
