Wayland Protocols 1.31 Released With Fractional Scaling Support

Wayland Protocols 1.31 has been released and this collection of protocols is now headlined by the addition of fractional scaling support!

The Wayland fractional scaling protocol "wp-fractional-scale-v1" has been added as a new staging protocol. The Wayland fractional scaling support allows the compositor to communicate a scale for more precision compared to integer-based scaling.

More details in the Phoronix article a few days ago around Wayland fractional scaling. With this v1.31 release, the initial staging protocol is finally in place. There are implementations pending for the likes of Sway / wlroots, GNOME Mutter, KDE KWin, and other compositors.

See the release announcement for the list of the few other changes making up the wayland-protocols 1.31 release.
