The Wakefield committers may hold off-line discussions from time-to-time. Since these meetings are just for the committers and invited wayland experts, summary minutes will be recorded here as time permits

Online Zoom Meeting 9am PDT September 12  2024

Attendees: Niels de Graef, Olivier Fourdan,  Alexey Ushakov, Kevin Rushforth, Victor D'yakov, Phil Race, Alexander Zvegintsev

Alexander:

The fix for the DnD issue is verified, everything works fine(including compatibility testing).

Relax The java.awt.Robot specification is now shipped with earlier releases such as 17u, 11u, 8u, so the X11 compatibility mode related fixes can now be backported.

The fix for taking screenshots is also delivered for Java FX, however it introduced two more issues:

JDK-8335468 calling java.awt.Robot#getPixelColor hangs when the JavaFX is running. I have the fix, but it leads to the second issue.
JDK-8335469 Crash when OpenJDK and JavaFX screencast sessions overlap, e.g. getPixelColor calls from FX and JDK robots within 2s (keep sessions open interval to avoid overhead of creating/closing sessions for frequent screenshots). Also have a fix, but it is hard to find an object to sync on in JDK and JavaFX without bringing new extra dependencies between them.

Alexey:

We successfully launched software rendering wayland as a preview in 2024.2 release and we generally get quite good feedback from the users.

They switched to our mode and use it on the wayland, but there are still some issues in different parts input methods for some tricky input frameworks doesn't work. But in general it looks like it's the right way to do it.

Currently we are fixing some bugs and implementing missing parts in input and continue to work on Vulkan rendering.

So we finally got it right and are working on implementing certain rendering primitives and internal stuff. So hopefully we'll get new mode of Vulkan produced in the next release of our products.
