The state of Wayland

The state of Wayland

[Development] Posted Apr 9, 2012 13:41 UTC (Mon) by corbet

For those following the development of the Wayland display system, a new, concise summary of the state of Wayland has been posted. "GTK+ 3.4.1 and Qt5 appear to have complete Wayland support except for client side decorations (CSD). EFL and Clutter appear to have complete support. So any application should work with Wayland as long as it uses one of these four toolkits, and it doesn't call any Xlib functions. Unfortunately a number of GTK+ applications do call Xlib, through gdk_x11_* functions, and they need to be wrapped in build-time and run-time backend checks."
