Wayland Protocols 1.46 Released With New Experimental Additions
Wayland Protocols 1.46 released this evening with new experimental protocols for text improvements as well as refinements to the color management protocol for HDR.
Wayland Protocols 1.46 brigns a new appendix and clarifications for the color-management-v1 protocol. A missing protocol error for color-representation-v1 is also added.
The experimental additions are for expanding on the existing text-input and input-method protocols. This experimental text-input protocol is text-input-unstable-v3. Dorota Czaplejewicz started it based on the existing text-input protocol with a goal of improving this protocol. Dorota is being funded by NLNet support.
Similarly, the new xx-input-method-v2 protocol is being worked on by Dorota and so far includes a new popup interface based on XDG-Popup. The existing popup interface of input-method (stable) was deemed "limited and inadequate for actual use."
Besides the refinements to the color management protocol and the new experimental work happening, Wayland Protocols 1.46 is a fairly small release. Details for those interested via the mailing list announcement.
