Wow the icon saga is finished!?
If anyone wants to throw away a couple hours, there was SO much discussion (and initially drama) over it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269
what is up with wayland standards taking so long to finalise? They have been chewing on HDR for over 4 years now…
color management is actually super hard to do, so making sure it’s done right is very important, so this is one of the few times it actually makes sense. I mean, just take a look at windows, it still looks like removed over there.
Guessing from how this change required 3+ implementations before it became official according to the gitlab page, maybe it’s a chicken and egg situation. Hdr is a lot of work so maybe people don’t want to implement an unfinalized version that might change
The compositors are the ones doing a lot of the protocol development. They want to have WIP versions so they can see what issues crop up, they’ve been making versions all doing. Now, I agree that it is slowing things down, but it’s more of just an additional thing that needs to get done, not so much a chicken and egg problem.
I guess because they want it to be done correctly but there’s plenty of opinions on the correct way to do it
