Weston 15.0 was recently released by Collabora, introducing significant updates to the Wayland compositor reference implementation. A new Lua-based shell has been integrated, allowing for fully customizable window management. The release also features an experimental Vulkan renderer, which integrates a modern graphics API into the display stack for potential future performance enhancements. Further improvements in Weston 15.0 include enhancements to color handling, media playback, and overall display performance. Collabora stated these changes aim to provide a "smoother display stack" and expanded customization capabilities for developers and users working with Wayland-based systems.
