# Xwayland 26.1 release candidate removes EGLStream support

_Published Wednesday, August 19, 2026 at 11:08 PM EDT · Products · Developing · Tier 2 — Notable_

The Xwayland project released 26.0.99.901, the first release candidate for standalone Xwayland 26.1.0. The candidate removes EGLStream support and adds a clipboard and primary-selection bridge for rootful Xwayland, multi-seat support through XInput 2, and display-mode changes. It also adds support for the xdg-system-bell protocol when a compositor supports it. The project requested testing and issue reports before the final release.
