This full packed release comes with three new staging protocols:
-
system bell - allowing e.g. terminal emulators to hand off system bell alerts to the compositor for among other things accessibility purposes
-
fifo - for implementing first in first out surface content update behavior
-
commit timing - for adding time constraints to surface content update
Other than this, the presentation timing protocol protocol got a version minor bump describing how to deal with variable refresh rate.
Other protocols saw the regular clarifications and bug fixes, and some deprecated events is now properly indicated as such in the XML. Please see individual commits for details.

Focus solely on implementing session saving when?
not a wayland dev but: patches welcome
Sure but I think the core devs should focus on it. It is a big thing that is important (especially for a piece of always changing beta software like Wayland) yet still missing.
.
Well the first step would probably be to open an issue.
It’s being worked on for years (or even decades lol). I highly doubt there isn’t an opened issue about it.
There's actually not. But there's an open MR.
Ok that’s not just strange but actually sus.
solely? I guess that’s quite far because a lot of other, equally or more important features are still missing

FIFO and commit timing are big for gaming. IIRC the lack of those protocols was a big reason why devs didn’t want to enable Wayland support for SDL3 at first.
