Hi,

Thats great news!

The draft that is implemented in weston, mutter and various other
places is the "unstable version 5"[0] one, which you can find in
wayland-protocols release in
unstable/xdg-shell/xdg-shell-unstable-v5.xml.

As you might have seen here on the list we are currently working on
updating xdg-shell to fix various issues in v5. The current draft of the
v6 you can find on the branch wip/xdg-shell-unstable-v6 in
wayland-protocols repository[1].

In short, the accepted changes include semantical changes/clarifications
to when a client should attach buffers and how its surfaces are
configured, as well as a size limit hint (that was merged today).

There is also a proposed set of changes[2] that restructures the
interface layout, makes it possible to create non-grabbing popups (meant
to be used for tooltips and other popups that doesn't grab input), and
adds a method to make sure surfaces are positioned within the work area
region.

Note that there is so far no implementation of any xdg-shell unstable
v6 anywhere, since it is still evolving.

Feedback on the current draft and the proposed changes would of course
be very appreciated.
