Wayland 1.24 Release Candidate Brings Few Changes


Following the recent decision to no longer issue alpha or beta releases of Wayland, the Wayland 1.24 release candidate was issued on Thursday in working toward that next release.

The Wayland 1.24 highlights noted by release manager Simon Ser include: - wl_shm_buffer_ref() and wl_shm_buffer_unref(), to access wl_shm_buffer underlying storage after the protocol object has been destroyed (e.g. when a client is shutting down). Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
