Announcing Vulkan 1.0

Vulkan is a new graphics API specification, seemingly meant to supersede OpenGL. Collabora has announced the availability of the 1.0 specification — and that the Wayland compositor already supports it. "To provide the best possible base for fluid modern user interfaces, Collabora have worked extensively on the Wayland window system, the underlying Kernel Mode Setting drivers and atomic modesetting, and also the EGL specifications and implementations. We are proud to continue this work with Vulkan." Intel has announced an open-source Vulkan driver for its hardware as well.
