Weston 16.0 Compositor Released With HDR Improvements, Vulkan Fixes

Weston 16.0, the reference Wayland compositor, has been released with notable improvements to HDR and color management support. The DRM back-end now supports the 'color format' DRM connector property, grayscale output color effects, color pipeline support, and various color transform additions. The release also adds support for the BACKGROUND_COLOR CRTC property introduced in Linux 7.1, enabling solid-color background offloading. The Vulkan renderer received bug fixes, explicit synchronization with the DRM back-end, and support for non-axis aligned rotations.
