With the addition of a non-surface node type, it was unclear how such
nodes should interact with scene_node_surface_at(). For example, if the
topmost node at the given point is a RECT, should the function treat
that node as transparent and continue searching, or as opaque and return
(probably) NULL?
Instead, replace the function with one returning a scene_node, which
will allow for more consistent behavior across different node types.
Compositors can downcast scene_surface nodes via the now-public
wlr_scene_surface_from_node() if they need access to the surface itself.
RECT is a solid-colored rectangle, useful for simple borders or other
decoration. This can be rendered directly using the wlr_renderer,
without needing to create a surface.
If nodes are arranged in a tree rather than at a single level, then it
makes sense that there should be a way to move them to a completely
different parent in addition to moving up or down among siblings.
This allows compositors to easily enable or disable a scene-graph node.
This can be used to show/hide a surface when the xdg_surface is
mapped/unmapped.
A new wlr_scene API has been added, following the design ideas from [1].
The new API contains the minimal set of features required to make the
API useful. The goal is to design a solid fundation and add more
features in the future.

The protocol specifies that all requests (aside from destroy) are
ignored after the compositor sends the closed event. Therefore,
destroying the wlroots object and rendering the resource inert
when sending the closed event keeps things simpler for wlroots and
compositors.
This wlr_surface_state field was a special case because we don't
want to save the whole current state: for instance, the wlr_buffer
must not be saved or else wouldn't get released soon enough.
Let's just inline the state fields we need instead.
Adds `wlr_buffer_resource_interface` and `wlr_buffer_register_resource_interface`,
which allows a user to register a way to create a wlr_buffer from a specific
wl_resource.
When wlr_output manages its own swap-chain, there's no need to
hook into the backend to grab DMA-BUFs. Instead, maintain a
wlr_output.front_buffer field with the latest committed buffer.
This function doesn't need the wl_resource anymore.
In the failure paths, wlr_buffer_unlock in surface_apply_damage
will take care of sending wl_buffer.release.
`wlr_client_buffer_import` is splitted in two distincts function:
- wlr_buffer_from_resource, which transforms a wl_resource into
a wlr_buffer
- wlr_client_buffer_create, which creates a wlr_client_buffer
from a wlr_buffer by creating a texture from it and copying its
wl_resource
The wl_touch.frame event is used to group multiple touch events
together. Instead of sending it immediately after each touch event,
rely on the backend to send it (and on the compositor to relay it).
This is a breaking change because compositors now need to manually
send touch frame events instead of relying on wlr_seat to do it.
This will allow us to remove all of our EGL wl_drm support code
and remove some weird stuff we need just for wl_drm support. In
particular, wl_drm buffers coming from the EGL implementation
can't easily be wrapped into a wlr_buffer properly.
The mailing list has never been used.
I think listing the deprecated functions in the release notes is
enough. I'd rather not add the burden of maintaining a separate
communication medium.
