@DemiMarie, yes, we are planning to upstream all of our changes. Stay tuned, thanks!

Are there any news about this?

Weston wasn't updated since 1.0.60 in Jan 2024 https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/releases/tag/v1.0.60

I have a very small improvement in mind, but upstream seems very different from this mirror and I am not sure how much sense it makes to open a pull request against this weston-mirror

Seems like https://github.com/microsoft/wslg?tab=readme-ov-file#wslg-code-flow is not the actual practice 😓

As sad as it is, I wouldn't hold my breath for this happening anytime soon considering how much the fork and upstream have diverged.
