Google's ANGLE Merges Wayland Support, Unblocking Chromium Embedded Framework On Wayland
It looks like Google's Chromium Embedded Framework "CEF" could finally be enjoying nice native Wayland support soon!
Google's ANGLE graphics abstraction layer for translacing OpenGL ES 2/3 calls to Direct3D / OpenGL / Vulkan / Metal has finally added native Wayland support. ANGLE is used by Google Chrome and a variety of other applications as a graphics API abstraction layer.
With this merge to the ANGLE codebase, there is now official Wayland support. At long last.
Notably this appears to have been the last blocker from Chromium Embedded Framework properly support Ozone/Wayland windows. This CEF issue ticket opened all the way back in November 2019 has been tracking the CEF on Wayland progress.
The issue remains open but when the new ANGLE gets into CEF, hopefully this will finally lead to its closure with nice Wayland support.
