While KWinFT started out as a fork of just KWin, it expanded earlier this year to also including Wrapland and Disman as other libraries to help this KDE display/presentation modernization effort. All of these KWinFT projects on Friday saw their first beta release. This also happens to come just days after the recent Disman presentation at XDC2020 .
KDE developer Roman Gilg who has been leading the KWinFT effort announced the betas on Friday with plans for the full releases on 13 October - the same date as Plasma 5.20.
With the KWinFT beta milestone, the Disman library is in better shape for low-level display management handling, the KWinFT compositor saw a number of stability fixes and code clean-ups, presentation time protocol support, expanded XDG-Output support, and other work in advancing the goals of the KWinFT effort.
