Theseus Ship 6.1 Released For This KWinFT Evolution Now Based On KDE Plasma 6.1

Written by Michael Larabel in KDE on 20 June 2024 at 05:45 AM EDT. 24 Comments

Theseus Ship is the X11/Wayland compositor previously known as KWinFT developed by Roman Gilg as a fork of KDE Plasma's KWin. Pulling in patches from KWin in this week's KDE Plasma 6.1 release, Theseus Ship 6.1 is now available.

Theseus Ship 6.1 pulls in all of the KWin patches collected over the past four months. In addition to its existing code, Theseus Ship has pulled in the latest COMO screen locker changes. For those that forgot or hadn't seen the prior article, Gilg has been developing COMO as the Wayland compositor modules.
