The release also adds a wl_fixes.ack_global_remove request to handle a potential race condition, and improves WAYLAND_DEBUG timestamp formatting. Compositor patches are pending for KDE KWin, GNOME Mutter, and wlroots, while Qt and SDL already have implementations ready. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
