Wayland, a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol, which can be used as a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, has reached version 1.4 Alpha.

A new development version has been released and marks the start of a new cycle that will include a large number of changes, if they follow the same pattern from the 1.3.x branch.

“The alpha release has all the features in it that I was hoping to get done for 1.4 and it's time to start fixing bugs and get the quality level back up. I've uploaded tarballs and tagged Wayland and Weston repos with 1.3.91 tags:,” stated Kristian Høgsberg on the official mailing list.

A detailed list of changes can be found in the official announcement. Download Wayland 1.4 Alpha right now from Softpedia.

Remember that this is a development version and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended for testing purposes only.
