The Wayland-Protocols 1.39 release adds ext-data-control and ext-workspace protocols. In addition to the new protocols there are the changes suggested by Mike Blumenkrantz for workflow improvements around introducing new protocols and clarifying how protocols can be rejected .
Jonas summed up of the protocol changes in Wayland-Protocols 1.39:
"This new release contains two new protocols:
* ext-data-control - allow privileged clients to control data devices, e.g. a clipboard manager.
* ext-workspace - receive events about and control workspaces, useful for e.g. workspace indicators.
This release also includes the recent governance workflow changes and clarifications. Mesa is also listed as a member, Simon Zeni was added as a drm-lease maintainer, and Nick Diego Yamane was added as a xdg-toplevel-drag maintainer."
