Published ceremony Wayland-protocols 1.45, containing a set of protocols and extensions that complement the basic protocol of Wayland and provide opportunities necessary for building composite servers and user environment.
Wayland-Protocols 1.45 includes 4 new protocols (two in the category “Staging” and two experimental):
- ext-backGround-EFFECT – applying effects to the translucent parts of Wayland surroundings, such as blurring the background.
- pointer-ware – allows the application to instantly move the index to the specified position.
- session-management – restoration of windows for interrupted sessions (e.g. after an accidental completion of the composite manager).
- input-method – development of a new protocol for the use of input methods for text.
All protocols go through phases of development, testing, and stabilization. After completing the development stage (category “unstable), the protocol is placed in the “staging” category and officially included in the set of Wayland-protocols. Once testing is complete, it moves to the stable category. Protocols in the “Staging” category can be used in composite servers and clients where their functionality is required. Unlike the “Unstable” category, “Staging” does not allow changes that violate
