New minor version. API/ABI Incompatible.
{{{
wayland-protocols 1.7 is now available.
This release includes a new backward incompatible version of the unstable
xdg-shell protocol - xdg-shell unstable v6.
The protocol have gone through extensive changes to how surfaces are
created
and mapped, and also adds a few features that was not possible before:
- A client can now specify a minimum and/or maximum window geometry.
- A client can now in a declarative manner position popup surfaces so
that
they will be visible to the user, e.g. by having them placed within
the
shell work area.
- A client can map a popup without a grab; this intended to be used for
relatively positioned child surfaces that shouldn't be automatically
dismissed, such as tooltips, and user interface elements like
"popovers" in
GTK+.
The desktop environment 'state allocations' originally meant to enable
desktop
environments to use their own state enum values in the configure event was
also
removed. Desktop environments who want to have their own state enum values
should instead extend the xdg_toplevel.configure or xdg_surface.configure
event
with their own event to get the same semantics.
See the protocol XML file and commit history for further details about
changes
compared to xdg-shell unstable v5.
There are still a few yet to be finalized patches that were not merged.
However, do not despair, those patches does not change any fundamental
behavior
of the core protocol and can added in a backward compatible manner in
future
releases.
Here is the shortlog:
