As far as what is left: DnD needs a bit of testing/tweaking yet as there 
are some little buggers floating in there (I'll be hacking on that come 
Monday). We have pending patches to support wl_text_input and 
wl_input_method (https://phab.enlightenment.org/D2275) however we cannot 
"securely" push those until we have a working VKbd implementation to go 
with them. I pinged shiin to see if he could also hack up a vkbd to go with.

While not a Top priority, support for wl_scaler and wl_viewport would be 
remaining things to drop in after July 3. We have pending patches for 
that also (https://phab.enlightenment.org/D2485) however those need some 
refactoring.

While I have not tested it yet, Mike has updated/refactored my initial 
XWayland branch and pushed that upstream already which means we should 
have working XWayland support now. I've not tested it yet myself however 
he did manage to get Firefox running with it (which is good news) :)

E/Elm apps are running good in E-Wl. Gtk apps also (tho Some gtk apps 
have popup menu placement issues according to Phab reports). I don't 
suspect that those are Major issues and likely will take little time to fix.

QT apps on the other hand are a whole different can of worms. Apparenly, 
QT5 has not been updated yet to support xdg_shell version 5 which means, 
while the apps do run, they have quite a few issues. I spoke with RzR 
about it and he plans to update QT5 to support xdg_shell version 5 which 
should address issues there.

There are a few pending buggers listed on Phab which I/we will be 
addressing in the coming weeks tho I don't think any of them are Major 
problems (in terms of functionality).

It is likely that I may be forgetting something in this list, so if you 
can think of something I may have missed, please ask.

Cheers,
dh
