Workstation
-----------
The Fedora 24 Workstation release will not default to Wayland, the next
generation graphic stack, but this is planned for future releases.
Wayland is available as an option, and the Workstation team would
greatly appreciate your help in testing it out. Our goal is to have one
full release where Wayland works almost seamlessly as a drop in
replacement for X11. At that point we plan to set it as the default
display server in Fedora. This new release also features GNOME 3.20.
There have been changes to the theming API in GTK+ 3. At this time the
API is under heavy development and will not remain stable. As a result,
applications that use custom CSS theming for example, may have rendering
issues. This could include default applications that come with Fedora 24
Beta Workstation. We request that users try out their favorite GTK+ 3
based applications and report bugs to the upstream developers so they
can be fixed in time for the final release.
I was reading the Fedora 24 Beta release announcement, and this
snippet is a bit inaccurate:
"This new release also features GNOME
3.20. There have been changes to the theming API in GTK+ 3. At this
time the API is under heavy development and will not remain stable."
While GTK+ 3.20 did significantly change the theming API, it should be
much more stable from now on. Or in other words, the theming API was
considered unstable till now, but should be stable going forward.
I don't know the best way to report this, so I am just mentioning it
here in the hope that the right people will notice.
Other than that it looks great!
Cheers,
Rishi
