+> Summary     : The Weston Wayland Compositor
+
+FYI, this release allows to test weston (the reference wayland
+compositor) oustide of X11 by running "weston-launch".
+This will spawn the compositor in a new tty.
+
+Beware that this one is still experimental, and might crash your X11
+session.
+
+You can also try it inside of a X11 session, which seems to be safer, by
+running "weston".
+
+For now, the package is not much useful, only a sample "weston-terminal"
+application is provided, but I plan to enable more demo wayland clients
+in our weston package.
+
+I am also looking at enabling the wayland backend in gtk+3, which would
+enable far more applications to run in wayland (provided that they don't
+use gdk-x11).
+
+Enjoy
+
