Wayland 1.6 is finally close to materializing and should be officially released later this month.

Pekka Paalanen of Collabora has been handling Wayland 1.6 release management in the absence of Wayland founder Kristian Høgsberg. There was a Wayland 1.6 Alpha in late August while out today is Wayland 1.6 RC1 along with a release candidate to the Weston compositor.

If all goes well a second release candidate to Wayland will be out next week and then the final Wayland / Weston 1.6 releases the following week. The Wayland/Weston 1.6 RC1 announcement can be found on the Wayland mailing list.
