New, unstable protocols added to version 1.9 is support for keyboard shortcut inhibition and XWayland keyboard grabbing support. The keyboard shortcut inhibition is designed for use-cases like virtual machine viewers / remote desktop clients to forward certain keyboard combinations like Alt-Tab or Alt-F4 to clients. The XWayland keyboard grabbing protocol is needed for supporting key grabs in the XWayland space.
Wayland-Protocols 1.9 builds off the unannounced 1.8 release that updated the DMA-BUF protocol version and other changes.
More details via the joint announcement for Wayland-Protocols 1.8/1.9.
