wlroots 0.16 update announcement
by Aleksei Bavshin
Greetings,
Sometime within the next week, I'll be updating wlroots in rawhide to
0.16.0[1] and sway to the latest release candidate. As usual, the update
contains API/ABI breaking changes and soname will be bumped to
libwlroots.so.11. wlroots0.15 compatibility package will be introduced
in the same side-tag.
No breakages are expected and no action is required from the maintainers
of dependent packages.
I'll send another notice with a side-tag id to unblock the updates that
already require 0.16 (currently only labwc) when it's ready.
***
I'm also planning to update wlroots in f37 once 0.16.1 is available.
There are a plenty of bug fixes and some important security features
(ext-session-lock-v1) that, I believe, should not require waiting
another 6 months for f38.
Sway will likely not be included in the initial f37 update, but may
follow later when it gets sufficient testing.
