E18 Wayland?

[kUrb1a]

it looks like they bashed Canonical a little bit too

"We wish the Mir develops all the best of luck in their endeavors, but we will, for the foreseeable future, throw our efforts behind Wayland support, along with our GTK+/GNOME and Qt/KDE etc. counterparts."

I wouldn't call that bashing but I would call some comments in this thread bashing.

few things are missing (ie minimize) but they are worked on.

it also has this nice Video

No. What you're seeing here is Wayland *client* support. This means that you can run Wayland clients (programs) within E18, you cannot run E18 on Wayland without X (yet)

As far as I understand it Enlightenment will support the functionality of being a Wayland compositor but not that it will necessarily drop Xorg support. I could be wrong though. Either way, Enlightenment on Wayland will be awesome. Hopefully it will be ready by the time Fedora 20 is released.

You're not wrong, they are not dropping X support, just adding on Wayland support.

Does this mean Wayland clients can run under X? If so wouldn't it be possible to just write all applications for Wayland and Ubuntu can run them through XMir?

Not directly in X, but inside E's compositor. It's written specifically to allow it.

"Soon" is a relative term. E18 is in a feature freeze, so it won't be included in that release. I'm hoping to see it with E19.

that was for E18

I don't care what the header for the wiki page is. What I'm telling you is that it's not there right now and E18 is in a feature freeze pending it's release: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/m...sg_id=31071587 That quote doesn't promise E on Wayland, anyway, just says that work is being done on it.

Having E run on Wayland is a major new feature. Unless discomfitor decides to waive the restrictions (which I don't see happening, but I could be wrong), it will not be in E18.
