End in Sight
The last week of GSoC 2017 is about to begin. My project is in a pretty good state I would say: I have created a big solution for the Xwayland Present support, which is integrated firmly and not just attached to the main code path like an afterthought. But there are still some issues to sort out. Especially the correct cleanup of objects is difficult. That’s only a problem with sub-surfaces though. So, if I’m not able to solve these issues in the next few days I’ll just allow full window flips. This would still include all full screen windows and for example also the Steam client as it’s directly rendering its full windows without usage of the compositor.
