[ANNOUNCE] xwayland 26.0.99.901

Olivier Fourdan ofourdan at redhat.com Wed Aug 19 13:37:02 UTC 2026 Previous message (by thread): [ANNOUNCE] xload 1.2.2 Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] As per the schedule, I am pleased to announce Xwayland 26.0.99.901, the first release candidate of the upcoming standalone Xwayland 26.1.0 release (or Xwayland 26.1.0 rc1 for short). Some notable changes since Xwayland 24.1 include: * EGLStream support is removed. * Xwayland rootful implements a clipboard/primary selection bridge (enabled with "-clipboard"), allowing copy/paste between rootful Xwayland and the rest of the Wayland desktop. * Multi-seat via Xi2: Wayland seats and their devices are mirrored into an XInput 2 hierarchy. * Support for "wl_fixes", namely destroy_global and ack_global_remove. * RandR emulation now prefers native modes up to the physical resolution, and emulated modes now take rotation into account. * Xwayland rootful fullscreen defaults to the actual output resolution instead of scaling up a resolution of 640x480. * Support for xdg-system-bell: Xwayland now rings the system bell through the Wayland system-bell protocol when the compositor supports it. Testing of this release candidate would be greatly appreciated. Please report any issues at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues The following shortlogs include all the changes since the previous xwayland-24.1 branch was first created (more than two years ago), not all of those changes are relevant to Xwayland though: Aki Sakurai (2): xquartz: fix compilation xquartz: fix inverted tablet pen Y tilt on macOS Alan Coopersmith (190):
