Khristian said the documentation was also improved, but last modified says 04 April 2013:

Where do I get the new documentation?

On porting, it still means a port is needed, not only to the toolkit, but on the X specifics.
The primary goal of frameworks 5 in general is to modularize the libraries like kwin so it is easier for developers in other projects to just use what they want. A huge amount of developer work has gone into doing this for kwin under frameworks 5.

Originally posted by TheBlackCat View PostNot exactly true although not exactly false, either. I don't know about GTK, but Qt 5 provides Wayland compositor classes that make it much easier for DE's to write Wayland compositors. So although porting to Qt 5 will not give automatic support, it will make the porting much easier.
That is assuming LXDE doesn't switch to using Kwin. The modularization of frameworks 5 should make this possible, but who knows whether the LXDE camp has any interest.

The client can tell the compositor to minimize itself but nothing is handled on weston.

Originally posted by jrch2k8 View Postminimize is not part of the protocol and never was, Weston a wayland demo client don't minimize because weston devs have figure out wich of the 300 method for minimize will be more efficient, is just that. beside weston is a toy demo so they dont focus too much on it beyond test code
Kwin/Clutter/etc all minimize just fine

As far as I know, minimization can be functionnal in wayland, but there I'm not 100% sure. We might get more news soon
