Weston 10.0.0 has been released! This new version contains a whole
bunch of new features and improvements. Here are some highlights:
- Add building blocks for color management: color transformations, gamma
correct blending, color profiles. These are only internal changes invisible
to users for now, but will allow to enable color management features in a
future release.
- Add feedback to linux-dmabuf-unstable-v1, enabling zero-copy scanout in more
situations.
- libseat support has been added. It will supersede all launchers in a future
release.
- The test suite has been expanded.
- All example clients have been converted to xdg-shell.
- Weston can now automatically launch a client after startup.
- The wl_shell interface, the fbdev backend, and weston-launch are deprecated.
Notes for packagers:
- libdrm 2.4.95, libwayland 1.18.0 and wayland-protocols 1.24 are now required.
- libpipewire 0.3 is required for the PipeWire remoting plugin.
- Support for the deprecated wl_shell interface is now disabled by default (it
will be removed in a future release, re-enable it with the Meson option
-Ddeprecated-wl-shell=true).
- Support for the fbdev backend is now deprecated and disabled by default (it
will be removed in a future release, re-enable it with the Meson option
-Ddeprecated-backend-fbdev=true). Migrating to KMS is recommended.
- Support for weston-launch is now deprecated and disabled by default (it will
be removed in a future release, re-enable it with the Meson option
-Ddeprecated-weston-launch=true). Systems without systemd can use seatd (or
seatd-launch) instead.
- A KMS driver supporting universal planes is now required for the DRM backend.
Thanks to all contributors!
