Waffle 1.4.0 is now available. It's been a loooooong time since the last release (Waffle 1.3.0 happened in 2013!) and a lot has happened since then. Waffle now has a wflinfo utility, supports Linux DRM render nodes through the GBM backend, is packaged by several distributions, and has a proper issue tracker on Github. The most prominent change, in my opinion, as that Waffle has more active contributors than last year (namely Jordan and Emil).
Since I've been out of practice of making releases, the release candidate will
cautiously bake for a full week before the final release. If all goes
smoothly, I plan to publish the final 1.4.0 tarballs on Monday 15 September.
The next major release should happen in less than a month. Emil has been
working hard to add Windows support to Waffle and Piglit, and that needs to be
packaged up and shipped soon.

Waffle 1.4.0 Release Notes
==========================
Backwards compatibility notes
-----------------------------
Waffle 1.4.0 is backwards-compatible with Waffle 1.3.0, in ABI and API.
New Features
------------
* All platforms
* wflinfo
The new 'wflinfo' utility reports information about the system's OpenGL
capabilities, similar to 'glxinfo'. See the documentation at
[man:wflinfo.1] or [http://www.waffle-gl.org/man/wflinfo.1.html].
(Implemented by Jordan Justen. Chad Versace fixed some bugs and corner
cases).
* Linux
* GBM backend gains support for DRM render nodes.
Waffle's GBM backend will now use render nodes (/dev/dri/render*) if
available. Otherwise, it falls back to 1.3.0 behavior and will use a DRI
card device (/dev/dri/card*). Render nodes require a recent kernel; you
may need to add drm.rnodes=1 to the kernel cmdline.
(Implemented by Jordan Justen).
* Debian packaging support.
Waffle now contains a toplevel 'debian' directory that supports creation
of Debian packages. Waffle packages are already available in Debian
Unstable ("sid") as 'libwaffle-1.0', 'libwaffle-dev', 'libwaffle-doc',
and 'waffle-utils'.
(Debian packages are maintained by Jordan Justen).
