This full packed release comes with three new staging protocols:
system bell - allowing e.g. terminal emulators to hand off system bell alerts to the compositor for among other things accessibility purposes
fifo - for implementing first in first out surface content update behavior
commit timing - for adding time constraints to surface content update
Other than this, the presentation timing protocol protocol got a version minor bump describing how to deal with variable refresh rate.
Other protocols saw the regular clarifications and bug fixes, and some deprecated events is now properly indicated as such in the XML. Please see individual commits for details.
Oh shit! I hadn’t heard they’d finally added that. That’s awesome.
Maybe that means FFMPEG and Zoom will start supporting it soon.
On my personal systems, I use Sway (a Wayland compositor). And I sometimes wish I could do screen grab with FFMPEG, but so far I haven’t wanted that enough to actually switch to X11 or use wl-screenrec.
On my work machine, I’m on Ubuntu and I have to use Zoom and screen sharing is kindof a non-negotiable thing. (Plus, FFMPEG screen grab is nice to have on my work machine as well.) So I use i3-gaps on xorg-server. Except for those two things, I’d rather use Sway.
