Experimental Zones Protocol Merged To Wayland After 2+ Years, 620+ Comments
Summary
Phoronix reports that the experimental zones implementation has merged into Wayland Protocols, enabling per-client zones for area-limited window positioning. The Zones protocol defines a per-client coordinate system attached to an output, supporting fixed or infinite zones, with the compositor able to reshape or eject windows; a related Cutouts protocol was also merged. This marks a notable advancement in the Linux display stack and multi-window handling for Wayland.
