Kerem Söke has announced
the 1.0
release of Polo, a
Wayland compositor for the MATE Desktop
Environment:

The idea is to keep MATE behaving as closely as possible to how it does on
X11, rather than changing the desktop to fit a different compositor. […]

Window management, metacity, workspaces, tiling, XWayland, clipboard and
clipman support, multiple monitors, display scaling, hotplugging, screenshots,
screen sharing, and session management are all working.

I’ve also added desktop effects: fade, zoom, zap, spin, squeemize, magic
lamp, desktop cube, expo, and wobbly windows.

Söke is looking for people to test Polo, particularly on multi-monitor
setups, and report back with problems.
