---------
New in these ISOs:
(SECURITY)waylandloginmanager now handles password authentication more robustly and securly in the embedded expect script in the AuthenticateUser function
waylandloginmanager is now multi seat capable, and automatically detects seats https://streamable.com/69vdr
waylandloginmanager is quieter on the journal as it starts non-root commands with runuser instead of sudo, which was dumping the entire command into the logs.
waylandloginmanager shows the users display name in the switch user dialog if it is set, instead of login name
waylandloginmanager now locks auto-login sessions upon startup when not a live CD.
waylandloginmanager now has better config reading
waylandloginmanager now sets the TTYs of sessions that crash to VT_AUTO to prevent that TTY from being unswitchable
waylandloginmanager now attempts to lock the current session with logind when properly switching sessions with it
waylandloginmanager now handles switching to the loginmanagerdisplay after a session fails to fast after starting much more robustly
waylandloginmanager is quieter on tty63. tty63 is used for displaying interactive failure prompts when its non-root graphical subprocesses fail to start.
waylandloginmanager uses far fewer subprocesses to handle choosing the list of availible sessions to start
waylandloginmanager is less dependant on paticular zenity behaviours
Power usage of the waylandloginmanager has been improved, with longer pauses, and does not call any child processes (no more calling /bin/sleep) during idle operation.
waylandloginmanager now tries to do as smooth session switching as possible, and makes the startup of the greeter less flickery
The utility for configuring udev to enable Weston's multipointer feature, now can also configure udev for logind's multiseat features (and can configure video card devices (framebuffers and kernel mode setting devices) as well as input devices now)
EFL/Weston/Kwin patches that were once staged here, have been merged upstream for handling non-seat0.
The configureseats utility is now more usable with a progress bar, and does not start any zenity dialogs as root
The loginmanagerdisplays are now started with a pam_systemd attribute that declares it as a greeter. The 'waylandloginmanager' user now no longer shows as a user that is logged in with gnome-shell's shutdown prompt
Hawaii has been replaced by Liri. (the successor to Hawaii)
More of the gnome stack is compiled now in /opt, instead of relying on the 1st tier packages
GTK 4 is availible, in a very limited way for now. (nothing is yet *using* GTK 4, except the gtk4-demo)
The test_RBOS_ISO.sh script now no longer executes graphical programs as root
A new external utility rebuild_iso_with_nonfree_firmware.sh allows users to rebuild the ISOs, and include needed firmware.
Vulkan is now added
Mesa now has the swr drivers built
Orbital and Orbment are not built on these ISOs
Latte dock, Amarok and Kvantum are added
The wlroots version of Sway is now used
The main distro is built on Debian Stretch, but now uses the kernel from Debian Buster for better hardware compatibility
The Revisions files now specify APTFETCHDATESECONDS to specify the time of a Debian Snapshot, so that when rebuilding an ISO, there can be better reproductability,
In the unlikely event that something changed on Tier 1 (Debian Stable), and something needs to be better tested.
/opt libraries are now added in ld.so.conf, this done since kwin, and sway use SETCAP features, where SETCAP binaries loose LD_LIBRARY_PATH when run
---------
Usage:
There is no password for the Live Session User (beccaholic), while auto login is enabled when starting as a live CD, if you get prompted for a password when starting a second login session, the password field is blank
If you choose to install, the live session user does not get added, and instead the login becomes the default username and password that is configured at the installation wizard
Using QEMU/libvirt, it is recommended to use the "VGA" video card, as Weston runs with Kernel Mode Setting on it.
---------
Problems and Notes:
Weston's support of DisplayLink devices is not as optimal, (and USB DisplayLink devices are probably the best for a multiseat seatup)
Some (mesa?) issues running native on Intel
