Gnome 3.12 Delayed To Sync With Wayland Release

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday February 5, 2014 @03:50AM from the just-in-time-for-the-x11-joke dept.

sfcrazy writes "Gnome developers are planning to delay the release of Gnome 3.12 by approximately a week. It's a deliberate delay to sync the release with the availability of Wayland 1.5. Matthias Clasen (Fedora and Gnome developer) explains that 'the GNOME release team is pondering moving the date for 3.12.0 out by approximately a week, to align the schedule with the Wayland release plans (a 1.4.91 release including all the xdg-shell API we need is planned for April 1). The latter 3.11.x milestones would be shifted as well, to avoid lengthening the freeze period unnecessarily.'"

Let me just point out, Wayland came out of the X11 community.
Yeah, the people who wrote the X11 code and keep complaining about how bad it is are going to write the new wonderful, shiny display interface, but, trust them, it will all be wonderful and fart unicorns this time.
