Wayland 1.25 Released With Color Management Now Fully Documented

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 19 March 2026 at 12:20 PM EDT. 53 Comments
Simon Ser just released Wayland 1.25.

Following the 1.25 release candidate earlier this month, version 1.25 is now stable for this core code around Wayland.

This includes Wayland's documentation concerning its content update model and color management being fully documented. On a technical note they have converted documentation from DocBook format to mdBook.

Wayland 1.25 also adds a new "frozen" attribute for interfaces with multiple parent interfaces, a new wl_surface.get_release request for per-commit buffer release callbacks, and a new wl_display_dispatch_pending_single() function to dispatch a single event.

In slightly easing the debugging experience, the output from WAYLAND_DEBUG is now colorized for a modern TUI experience.

More details on today's Wayland 1.25 release via the mailing list announcement.
