Welcome to the official release of Weston 1.12.
Weston's internal code has been restructured into a new software library,
libweston. This is intended for use by other compositor efforts that
want to more easily utilize Weston's internal functionalities. Weston's
own compositor is now a user of this library.
As well, another new library named libweston-desktop provides an
additional level of functionality of relevance to compositors
implementing a desktop metaphor style of graphical interface. This
library API is designed around xdg_shell functionality, providing for
handling of popups, window state, and interfacing with Xwayland.
Both libweston and libweston-desktop should be treated as unstable
libraries (i.e. their APIs are subject to change). A versioning scheme
has been adopted for their ABI provisioning to enable compile-time
detection of breaks. In other words, this enables users to detect
incompatibilities at install-time in their packaging system, rather than
when they try to actually use the software. The system is designed to
help not only with released Weston components but also to flag
inconsistencies when using development snapshots of the libraries, to
help developers avoid problems due to inconsistencies, too.
Support for the new version 6 of the xdg_shell protocol has been
implemented in the Weston compositor, and all clients are ported to it.
See the wayland-protocols 1.7 release notes for details on the included
changes.
A pointer locking and confinement API is implemented for Weston using
the wp_pointer_constraints protocol, to allow clients to define window
regions to confine the pointer to. These regions can be irregular; a
client is included to demonstrate confinement to a H-shaped region, for
example. A relative pointer protocol (using wl_relative_pointer) has
also been introduced, which allows clients to continue receiving pointer
movement deltas even when the pointer's absolute position is clipped for
example to the edge of the monitor.
The Raspberry Pi backend (rpi-backend) and renderer have been dropped.
This code was reliant on a proprietary driver stack, and proved not to
be maintainable within Weston.
Several other features, build improvements, bug-fixes, code
refactorings, refinements to destruction processes, and so on are
included. See below for the full list of changes.
