Wayland Support in Qt

With the release of Qt 5.0, Qt no longer contains its own window system implementation: QWS is no longer a supported platform. For single-process use cases, the Qt Platform Abstraction is a superior solution. Multiple graphical processes will be supported through Wayland.

Wayland is a light-weight windowing system; or more precisely, it is a protocol for clients to talk to a display server.

The Qt Wayland module is not part of Qt 5.0.0. It is currently fully functional, but the adaptations required by the recent 1.0.0 release of Wayland itself could not be done in time for the Qt feature freeze. The Qt Wayland module will have its official release soon after Qt 5.0. Development snapshots can be downloaded from the Qt Wayland git repository.
