With the upcoming release of Weston 15.0, this Wayland reference compositor will finally feature a Vulkan renderer. For those curious about its potential, a presentation recently outlined the current state of this Vulkan code path.

Erico Nunes of Red Hat led the work on this Vulkan renderer for Weston that was based on the existing OpenGL renderer. This renderer targets the basic Vulkan 1.0 specification so that it can work on as many Vulkan implementations as possible. The renderer was merged a few months back and will be part of the upcoming Weston 15.0 release.
