Weston 13.0 is gearing up for release in November while today marked the alpha release as this cycle begins to wrap-up. New to Weston 13 includes VNC output resizing, a rework of the 2D coordinate handling, multi-backend support, the ability to have overlapping outputs, OpenGL renderer support for the RDP back-end, OpenGL renderer support for the VNC and PipeWire backends too, support for P010/P012/P016 formats in the OpenGL code, removal of launcher-logind support, and a variety of other changes and fixes.
Today's release announcement for Weston 13.0 Alpha outlines the hundreds of changes incorporated into this release over Weston 12. It's a big one for developers and those users preferring the simplistic Weston compositor or seeking to make use of the Weston library.
