v0.32.0

GitHub project here.

ABI summary:

• mirserver ABI bumped to 47
• mirplatformgraphics ABI bumped to 15

Enhancements:

• [Wayland] Implement subsurface support
• [Wayland] Initial support for copy, cut and paste
• [Wayland] Make use of the specified output in fullscreen requests. (Fixes #423)
• [libmiral] Update miral::Keymap to get the default keymap from udev
• [libmiral] Extend the logic for launching apps to support Wayland apps and provide it as an API for servers to use it. (Fixes #300)
• logind support
• libinput backend: Support running without root privs
• [miral-shell] Options to use toolkit libmirclient support in miral-desktop, miral-app and miral-run
• [miral-shell] Fix default font on Ubuntu 18.04 and Arch
• [wlcs] Fixes to test framework, more test coverage

Bugs fixed:

• [Wayland] Implement subsurface support for touches. (Fixes #347)
• [Wayland] Implement Input regions. (Fixes #306)
• [Wayland] Implement/correct implementation of window state changes in xdg-shell V6. (Fixes #297)
• [Wayland] Implement the common state changing logic in WlAbstractMirWindow. (Fixes: #311)
• [Wayland] Don't hold a lock in mf::WlShmBuffer while potentially destroying an object that uses it. (Fixes #355)
• [Wayland] Disconnect a sink when its target window is destroyed (Fixes #357)
• [Wayland] Send frame notifications even if there is no buffer, this fixes the gedit lockup when subsurfaces are dismissed.
• Don't synthesize pointer events during gestures. (Fixes #179)
• Notify the compositor of surfaces that have content before they are added to the scene. (Fixes #328)
• Retry drmSetMaster() a few times and if it doesn't work die. (Fixes #373)
• Defer initializing DefaultServerConfiguration::reports until any subclasses have been fully constructed. (Fixes #361)
• Ensure ExternalInputDeviceHub::remove_observer() synchronizes memory across threads. (Fixes #359)
• Correct the glm matrix used for software cursor transformation (Fixes #322)

v0.31.2

No client or server ABI changes.

Enhancements:

• [miral-XXX scripts] Provide options to use toolkit libmirclient support

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed bug with XWayland apps not appearing. (Fixes #328)
• Fixed segfault on exit. (Fixes #327, #112)

v0.31.1

Bugs fixed:

• Fix a couple of warnings from g++ 8.0.1
• src/miral/CMakeLists.txt has some hardcoded compile flags.
  These should be inherited from the parent project instead. (Fixes #266)
• [Wayland] Subcompositor fixes: subsurface offset issue and sync behavior
• [Wayland] stopped frame.done being called if frame has been destroyed
• [Wayland] Implement WlSurface::set_cursor(): Enable Wayland clients to
  set and hide the cursor
• [Wayland] Configure new surfaces after attaching observers: For tiling,
  we need to set the surface state to "maximized" so that Wayland clients
  obey exactly. That wasn't working as the wayland_frontend wasn't being
  notified of the actual state.
• Don't remember recent surface events after the input dispatcher is
  stopped: The event "goes stale" and can cause a segfault. (Fixes #276)
• [Wayland] Sequence xdg-top-level and xdg-surface configure events
  correctly: qtwayland gets confused by receiving these event out of
  order. (Fixes #280)
• [Wayland] fixed timestamp scaling. Fixes double-click.

v0.31.0.1

GitHub project here.

ABI summary:

• miral ABI bumped to 3
• mirserver ABI bumped to 46

Enhancements:

• Reorganized examples and reworked miral server examples
• Better organization of, and fixes to, Wayland server code
• Initial support for Wayland xdg-shell

Bugs fixed:

• [miral] CommandLineOption should accept lambdas (Fixes #215)
• [miral] Implement the policy addenda in WindowManagementTrace (Fixes #192)
• [Wayland] Send repeat info (Fixes #180)
• Explicitly initialise glm matricies, (Fixes #200)
• KMS platform - fallback if crtc mode invalid (LP: #1661295)

v0.30.0.1 Brown Paper Bag release

The previous 0.30.0 tarballs were not built from the v0.30.0 git tag, and hence had an un-signalled ABI break.

The 0.30.0.1 tarball is built from the v0.30.0 tag.

v0.30.0

No client or server ABI changes.

Notable changes:

• Initial incorporation of the WLCS test-suite
• Many fixes to Wayland protocol support:
  • SessionAuthorizer::connection_is_allowed is now called on Wayland client connection,
    required for Wayland clients to work in Unity8.
  • Keyboard state is now sent of focus, resolving strange modifier behaviour when
    switching between clients (Issue: #155)
  • A number of crash fixes
  • Initial, experimental, support for xdg-shell (v6).
    Set the MIR_EXPERIMENTAL_XDG_SHELL environment variable to enable.
• Pointer events are now sent to windows that move underneath the pointer
• CI is now enabled for Fedora 27
• CMake's Ninja generator is now supported
• Miscellaneous other bug fixes.
