### Added

• Multi-GPU support is now available.
• Introduction of LObject as the base class facilitates sharing future functionality among classes.
• Pluggable scene and views system introduced for efficient rendering and handling of input events.
• New LAnimation class for creating time-based animations.
• New LTimer class for time-based triggered callbacks.
• New `LResource wrapper class forwl_resourcestructs; each protocol resource or global now has its ownLResource` subclass.
• Developers can add or modify default compositor globals by overriding the LCompositor::createGlobalsRequest() virtual method.
• New example, louvre-views, a MacOS X lookalike compositor that uses the scene and views system.
• LOutput framebuffers can now be used as textures.

• New directory structure for protocol interfaces located in src/lib/protocols.
• Clients can now bind multiple times to the wl_seat global, resolving the Firefox issue where it could only receive pointer events.
• Clients can now create a wl_data_device for each wl_seat.
• Clients can now bind multiple times to the wl_subcompositor global.
