Hi,
We have recently released Mir 0.14 to Wily (0.14.0+15.10.20150723.1-0ubuntu1). It’ll soon be released to Vivid+ as well. We have lots of goodies in 0.14 :
It was a comprehensive release where we broke every single ABI under the sun including the client ABI. That required us to release many dependent projects.
Here is a list of 0.14 content highlights :
- Preparation work for new buffer semantics
- MirEvent-2.0 related changes and unifications
- New SurfaceInputDispatcher to replace the android InputDispatcher
- Preparation work for new buffer semantics
- Preparation work for mir-on-X11: splitting of mesa platform in common
and KMS parts - g++-5.0 compilation
- Thread sanitizer issues
- Numerous bugs addressed
For a detailed list, please see the changelog.
We will soon start the release process for Mir 0.15. Expect to have :
- Application-not-responding (ANR) handling
- ANR optimizations
- Raw input events
- Experimental mir support on X11 (Mir server runs as an X client in a window)
- Latency reduction optimizations using “predictive bypass”
- Client API for specifying input region shape
- Support for relative pointer motion events
- More window management support
- More new buffer semantics
- libinput platform
