Wayland 1.7.0 Marks an Important Release

jones_supa writes: The 1.7.0 release of Wayland is now available for download. The project thanks all who have contributed, and especially the desktop environments and client applications that now converse using Wayland. In an official announcement from Bryce Harrington of Samsung, he says the Wayland protocol may be considered 'done' but that doesn't mean there's not work to be done. A bigger importance is now given to testing, documentation, and bugfixing. As Wayland is maturing, we are also getting closer to the point where the big Linux distros will eventually start integrating it to their operating system.

    anti-systemd trolls

    Nice revisionist history. It's the systemd guys that have been acting like children and constantly attack Linux users for pointing-out bugs. After posting a reproduction script to the mailing list about a problem with systemd ignoring the exit status from a script, I was told by one of the main devs that he hoped my mother got cancer. Joke's on him. She died of cancer in 1977. You also have kids like http://slashdot.org/~Eunuchswear here that post some nasty replies, and it appears from looking at the moderation on the posts he is replying to that he or his friends have mod points and are using them to attack people that post about systemd problems.

    If the systemd guys spent as much time programming as they did attacking us, then we probably wouldn't have anything to complain about in the first place!

    Posting as AC because two of the last three times I posted one of the systemd punks moderated my posts down. I don't want to lose more karma to those trolls.
