- introduces ivi-application.xml Many applications in an IVI-system are special single-purpose applications that have a very specific role in the whole IVI UI, for example a rear camera, speedometer, map, etc. The IVI system vendor specifies what these are and how they integrate into the UI. They also vary between particular IVI systems. This is why we use (system-)global, unique, pre-determined ID numbers to tell what wl_surface is which application, instead of writing specific shell requests for each one. Using ID numbers allows vendors to easily invent new component applications without extending or breaking the actual Wayland protocol. In IVI-systems, the ID is a standard concept already used in several APIs, with a vendor-specified global definition of ID assignments.

Weston Weston is the reference implementation of a Wayland compositor, and a useful compositor in its own right. Weston has various backends that lets it run on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input as well as under X11. Weston ships with a few example clients, from simple clients that demonstrate certain aspects of the protocol to more complete clients and a simplistic toolkit. There is also a quite capable terminal emulator (weston-terminal) and an toy/example desktop shell. Finally, weston also provides integration with the Xorg server and can pull X clients into the Wayland desktop and act as a X window manager. Refer to http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html for building weston and its dependencies. The test suite can be invoked via `make check`; see http://wayland.freedesktop.org/testing.html for additional details.
