Blender 5.0 Introducing HDR Support On Linux With Vulkan + Wayland
'Michael Larabel writes via Phoronix: The upcoming Blender 5.0 3D modeling software application is introducing High Dynamic Range (HDR) display support on Linux when making use of Wayland -- no X11 support for HDR -- and Vulkan graphics accelerator. HDR support for Blender 5.0 on Linux is currently considered experimental. Enabling the HDR support on Linux for the Blender creator software requires having a High Dynamic Range display (of course) and be running on a Wayland desktop, enabling Vulkan API acceleration rather than OpenGL, and enabling the feature currently deemed experimental.

I can remember, back in the day, when Blender’s version numbers went up like 2.50, 2.51 ... 2.60, 2.61 ... all the way up to 2.83. Then they started going up in larger jumps: after 2.83 came 2.90. After 2.93 came 3.0. Since then, the version numbers have been changing in the first digit after the dot, not the second digit any more. But after 3.6 came 4.0, and now after 4.4 we are going to get 5.0. This is all fine, except I wonder what’s going to happen to the file format. Because the field for holding the major version number only has room for one digit.
