I'm pleased to announce the final standalone Xwayland 21.1.0 release.

There are just two small fixes compared to the second release candidate.

Please report any issues at

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues


Highlights compared to xserver 1.20.10:

* Xwayland's XVideo support (via glamor) now supports NV12
* glamor can now accelerate some more RENDER extension formats
* Xwayland's GLX provider now uses the EGL implementation instead of
  Mesa's swrast_dri.so directly
* Xwayland can now use the wp_viewport Wayland protocol for up-scaling
  of fullscreen applications setting lower resolutions via the RandR /
  XFree86-VidModeExtension extensions
* Xwayland now alternates between multiple buffers for all Wayland
  surfaces, making it less of a special case compared to other Wayland
  clients
* Xwayland can now use memfd_create for creating buffers shared with
  the Wayland compositor when glamor hardware acceleration is disabled
* Xwayland has better support for clients using relative mouse input and
  keyboard grabs
* An Xwayland.1 manpage is now installed
* Xwayland now supports -listenfd, -version and -verbose command line
  options
* Xwayland now installs an xwayland.pc file which helps discovering the
  path of the installed Xwayland binary and the features it supports
* Only meson is supported for building
* Only Xwayland and Xvfb can be built, only Xwayland can be installed
