About this tag
The ubuntu roadmap tag on WindowsForum.com follows planning and release signals coming out of Canonical's Ubuntu ecosystem, including the direction of its Mir Wayland compositor library. Tagged discussion covers Mir 2.30.0, where a Rust compiler became a hard requirement for building from source, the MIR_ENABLE_RUST build switch was removed, and the mirserver ABI moved to 69.

These items matter most to developers, packagers, and maintainers of Mir-based shells rather than everyday Ubuntu users.
