This full packed release comes with three new staging protocols:

system bell - allowing e.g. terminal emulators to hand off system bell alerts to the compositor for among other things accessibility purposes
fifo - for implementing first in first out surface content update behavior
commit timing - for adding time constraints to surface content update

Other than this, the presentation timing protocol protocol got a version minor bump describing how to deal with variable refresh rate.

Other protocols saw the regular clarifications and bug fixes, and some deprecated events is now properly indicated as such in the XML. Please see individual commits for details.

Well the first step would probably be to open an issue.

It's being worked on for years (or even decades lol). I highly doubt there isn't an opened issue about it.

There's actually not. But there's an open MR.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
