version 0.3.0 (2021-07-25) Large parts of Smithay were changed with numerous API changes. It is thus recommended to approach version 0.3 as if it was a new crate altogether compared to 0.2. The most notable changes are: - Deep refactor of the graphics backends around a workflows centered on allocating graphics buffers, and a Gles2-based renderer abstraction is provided. - Support for DRM atomic modesetting as well as client-provided DMABUF - Most backends are now `calloop` event sources generating events. The recommended organization for your smithay-based compositor is thus to centralize most of your logic on a global state struct, and delegate event handling to it via the shared data mechanism of `calloop`. Most of the callbacks you provide to Smithay are given mutable access to this shared data. - The `wayland::compositor` handling logic now automatically handles state tracking and delayed commit for wayland surfaces. Many thanks to the new contributors to Smithay, who contributed the following: - Support for [`libseat`](https://sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/seatd/) as a session backend, by @PolyMeilex - Support for graphics tablets via the `tablet` protocol extension, by @PolyMeilex - Support for running Smithay on `aarch64` architectures, by @cmeissl - A rework of the `xdg-shell` handlers to better fit the protocol logic and correctly track configure events, by @cmeissl - Basic Xwayland support, by @psychon
