+> 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).

+Nice thanks :)
