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 I dunno, maybe something with almost 700 comments? (HDR).
If apps don’t want to save their state when they close there isn’t much a window manager can do about that. The only part the window manager would be involved in is with positioning its window and that is hardly something very critical to the functionality of an app.

Variable refresh rates. HDR. Colour management.
…for starters.
Hm? Wayland has VRR.
The new protocols just announced are to support it. It’s a work in progress.

Well the first step would probably be to open an issue.

There’s actually not. But there’s an open MR.
