Wayland Merges New Screen Capture Protocols


Nearly three years in the making, the ext-image-capture-source-v1 and ext-image-copy-capture-v1 protocols have been merged into the Wayland Protocols repository for vastly improving screen capture support on the Wayland desktop.

These new protocols should allow for better performance and window capturing support for use-cases around RDP/VNC remote desktop, screen sharing, and more. The ext_image_copy_capture_v1 protocol is for allowing clients to ask the compositor to capture image sources such as outputs and top level surfaces.
