Wayland 1.4 Released — Touch, Sub-Surface Protocol, Crop/Scale Support
An anonymous reader writes "Version 1.4 of the Wayland protocol and Weston reference compositor have been released. The Wayland/Weston 1.4 release delivers on many features and includes promoting the sub-surface protocol to official Wayland, improved touch screen support, a crop/scale protocol within Weston, security improvements, and other fixes."
the same fuckers behind wayland are the exact same developers who fucked up X11 by trying to move it to sending image buffers instead of primatives, and then once broken they walked away leaving it broken, then point at X11 as being broken as a reason to use wayland instead.
it's fucking rich. fuck them and fuck that insincere and antisocial behavior. they can have wayland for iPad like graphics if they want, and I applaud them for that. More power to them and I wish the project well. But for poisoning X11's pool before they left by making changes that assume everybody is desktop and mobile users who want the eye candy and no one does any real work anymore? For that they deserve all the scorn they have gotten.
