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
