Wayland's Weston Adds Support For The Minimize Button

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 19 February 2014 at 01:05 PM EST. 21 Comments

Wayland clients running on the Weston compositor now have support for the minimize button.

Clients using an XDG shell surface now support the state of being minimized with this Git commit on Tuesday.

There's also been a lot of other Weston activity recently now being clear of the 1.4 release and Wayland/Weston changes building up for the 1.5.0 release in a few months time. More development activity can be viewed via the FreeDesktop.org CGit.
