xorgproto 2022.2
This release introduces an new "XWAYLAND" extension: This extension exists to serve one purpose: reliably identifying Xwayland. Previous attempts at doing so included querying root window properties, output names or input device names. All these attempts are somewhat unreliable. Instead, let's use an extension - where that extension is present we have an Xwayland server. Clients should never need to do anything but check whether the extension exists through XQueryExtension/XListExtensions. The DRI3 protocol was bumped to 1.3 and has a new DRI3SetDRMDeviceInUse request: This request provides a hint to the server about the device in use by this window. This is used to provide DRI3GetSupportedModifiers with a hint of what device to return modifiers for in the window_modifiers return value. Using this hint allows for device-specific modifiers to be returned by DRI3GetSupportedModifiers, for example when an application is renderoffloaded and eligible for direct scanout. The remaining commits are the usual combination of housekeeping and maintenance.
