[Bf-committers] Wayland to soon release stable 1.0

[skoti]

At the beginning Wayland, the system will have the X server as a client 
of Wayland for compatibility with applications for X 
(http://wayland.freedesktop.org/x-on-wayland.png- blender for X will 
work), and Wayland will not be quickly implemented by linux 
distributions,because there are no drivers for graphics cards(AMD, 
Nvidia) provided by manufacturers - for example, Nvidia has no plans to 
support Wayland (which requires the use of KMS / GEM / ... what Nvidia 
does not want to do). In summary there is no rush with support for 
Wayland (which depends on the SDL port).
