Wayland/Weston 1.12 Release Candidate Arrives

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 7 September 2016 at 09:14 AM EDT. 1 Comment

Bryce Harrington announced the release candidates on Tuesday for the upcoming Wayland 1.12 and Weston 1.12 compositor releases.

Over the earlier development builds, Wayland 1.11.93 simply has a documentation fix and a test case fix. Weston 1.11.93 meanwhile has just a handful of fixes to different parts of that compositor playground.

For those unfamiliar with the feature changes of the upcoming Wayland/Weston 1.12 releases, see our earlier article covering the work found in this latest update.

The current plan is to officially release Wayland/Weston 1.12 on 13 September. The release candidate announcement from yesterday can be found on wayland-devel.
