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.
Nope. Everyone jumped ship for BSD when systemd came along.
Welcome back. I noticed you have a relatively low UID and are one of the long history of slashdot users to return from your 10 year walk in the jungle. Much has changed on Slashdot and unfortunately it's not the same as it used to be. Here's a summary list of changes:
- Slashdot is now Dice's personal blog. We do videos and they ignore all complaints which happen weekly.
- Slashdot attempted to roll out Beta which was hated universally by all and spawned a couple of Slashdot forks.
- Bitcoin (a virtual currency) turned out to be every bit the crap that people said it was despite Dice's advertising attempts with daily articles.
- Pottering is forking GNU/Linux into a systemd/Linux. This is still unfolding but you can keep up to date with the daily articles explaining just how many users are abandoning linux as a result.
- Wayland was created. Slashdot ran weekly articles about it for over a year because the uneducated arguments about how it works provided lots of lolz.
We hope you enjoy your stay. It's good to have you with us, even if it's just for the day.
