New in these ISOs:

Ubuntu is no longer the base tier 1 distribution providing core packages... Debian Testing is now used. Casper and Lupin from Ubuntu are pulled in from BZR, which allow it to work as a LiveCD
  These changes (other then the specified repositiories) are all conditioned in. It would be theoretically possible to switch back to Ubuntu just by changing the debootstrap locations, and imported /etc/sources.list

Ubuiquity is no longer the installer. The installer is now Calamares, https://github.com/calamares/ which is an early distro independant install.

KDE Wayland is a selectable option, and is usable to an extent this time

waylandloginmanager instead of dumping the log output of all sessions to ~/waylandsession.log preserves 5 log files from each session to ~/wlsessionlogs/waylandsession_($DATESTAMP).log where $DATESTAMP is the number of seconds since 1/1/1970 12:00 UTC that the session was started (the UNIX epoch). This allows for better logging, and not using too much space from all the logs of all the users sessions

waylandloginmanager now relies on systemd v227, which no longer requires a combo of openvt and runuser (although openvt is still used for the fallback menus). This allows existing upstream provided PAM config files to not have to be overwritten

build_core: Downloads of repositiories are now done as the nobody user. This requires a filesystem that supports ACLs. most do. This is only for users building thier own ISOs. Also the handling of revision files is more secure. They are now processed in a restricted shell as a non root user, so that users building an ISO with specifc upstream revisions don't get compromised by a fake revisions file. This probably effects an extreme minority of people

Usage:

There is no password for the Live Session User (beccaholic), while autologin is enabled when starting as a live CD, if you get prompted for a password when starting a second login session, the password field is blank

If you choose to install, the live session user does not get added, and instead the login becomes the default usernme and password that is configured at the installation wizard

Problems and Notes:

  When created with the Ubuntu startup creator, the menu UI for the boot selection doesn't work, and falls back to text mode. sometimes.

  Orbital will be back on a later ISO when libweston is merged into main Weston.

  Papyros is not on this ISO

New in these ISOs:---------

The WaylandLoginManager no longer uses weston-launch to call Wayland session, and instead uses runuser. This requires logind v216 due to bugfixes. This is for better security, as non-weston sessions would not hang up the file descriptors that weston-launch opens.

Global permissions to the plugdev group are no longer granted to framebuffer devices. Now they are granted by udev, by setting the UACCESS attribute, and applying a workaround in Weston.

Wayland Login Manager supports starting with an option to disable vblank, as vblank causes some problems in some hardware platforms

Except for the setting the proper variables for a user session (with /usr/bin/wlruntime_vars), and config file for the login manager display, and configuring runuser to use systemd with the PAM configuration files, all of the functionality of the WaylandLoginManager is now in /usr/bin/waylandloginmanager

Systemd is now provided upstream by Ubuntu, which drastically reduces the number of first tier files that gets overwritten to about 2.

Thanks to Mannerov, mesa master is now used, as software rendering is brought back in mainline Mesa.

Gnome sessions are now called by gnome-session, instead of calling gnome-shell directly, which fixes a few issues with logoff not working.

Replaced SWC with Orbment

New Wayland toolkits added: FreeGLUT, and GLFW.

KDE Wayland is a selectable option, but it's currently too early to be usable

_There is no password for the Live Session User (beccaholic), while autologin is enabled when starting as a live CD, if you get prompted for a password when starting a second login session, the password field is blank_
If you choose to install, the live session user does not get added, and instead the login becomes the default usernme and password that is configured at the installation wizard

Problems and Notes:

The Grub menu in Utopic ISOs seem to no longer be compatible with the USB startup creator, it seems to be an upstream issue with Utopic+ as I saw the same behaviour with a vanilla Utopic ISO . To start the live session on the menu-less USB disk, you will have to type the word "live" and press enter.

Orbital will be back on a later ISO when libweston is merged into main Weston.
