Weston 12.0 as Wayland's reference compositor is now available with multiple GPU support in the DRM back-end, support for HDMI content types, support for the Wayland tearing control protocol, plane alpha DRM property handling, a PipeWire back-end, and much more. Some of the highlights for today's Weston 12.0 stable compositor update include: - Support for the tearing-control protocol to let clients request to be flipped asynchronously. This can allow tearing if so desired. - A PipeWire back-end has been merged.
