<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi adlo,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I suppose it depends on your needs.
Here some more pros/cons:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">"pro" for latest: Possibly ships some
new features you want to use ?<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">"pro" for latest: If the API changed
significantly between latest and current, you possibly can avoid a
later port from "current" to "latest" --> less effort.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">"pro" for current: If you want testers
right now, more people will be able to test</div>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Alex<br>

<div>I'm writing an experimental Wayland compositor for Xfce. I'm
not sure whether I should use wlroots 0.14, which is supported
by the current Fedora release and will be supported by the
upcoming Ubuntu LTS, or whether I should use the latest version
of wlroots.</div>

<div>re: Alistair: I suggest you use something like
xfce-test for testing your code.</div>

</div>
<div>xfce-test uses Ubuntu 20.04 and therefore cannot be
used for testing until somebody updates it. I tried to
update it but it failed to build, and I don't know how
to fix it because it is docker.<br>
