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."

    > And the best thing is that X is no longer network transparent, it's network capable in a way similar to vnc

    Then why is VNC so god-damned awful in comparison? Even on a fast local wired network VNC sucks great big donkey balls. VNC on a local network is less usable than either RDP or X (with compression) are across the Internet.

    The disaster that is VNC on MacOS is why I find the idea of Wayland so repugnant.
