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.

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).
