Wayland 1.8.1 Released

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 12 June 2015 at 06:24 PM EDT. 2 Comments

While Wayland 1.8 was released last week, Wayland 1.8.1 was released today as a "brown paper bag" release.

Bryce Harrington released Wayland 1.8.1 today as a fix that just addresses problems with the Wayland 1.8.0 distribution tarball. Some files in the Wayland 1.8.0 package were marked read-only and today's 1.8.1 update just fixes that issue.

The real quick Wayland 1.8.1 announcement can be read on wayland-devel.
