Wayland 1.13.0 has entered development in the first days of the year, but the first Alpha build arrived at the end of January, along with the Alpha version of the Weston 2.0 compositor, including most of the new features that are present in this final release that you’ll be able to install on your Linux-based operating systems in the coming days. The biggest new features added in the Wayland 1.13.0 release are various APIs (Applications Programming Interfaces) for controlling the visibility of globals, as well as a bunch of documentation additions, many bug fixes, and other under-the-hood improvements.
