Meson 1.8 Build System Released - Wayland Module Declared Stable


Meson 1.8 was released this afternoon as the newest update to this popular, cross-platform and open-source build system / build automation tool.

Meson 1.8 isn't the most exciting feature release but it does bring support for the C2Y / GNU2U standard for the C programming language. Meson 1.8 also now declares its Wayland support module as stable. Meson 1.8 also introduces a new "swift_std" compiler option for the Swift language version, Valgrind now fails tests if errors are found, objects are added correctly to Rust executables, better Objective-C / Objective-C++ support, and version_compare() now works with multiple compare strings.
