The official Wayland release page states that Wayland 1.26 “has been released” on July 16, 2026. That means the article’s label “Future version: 1.26” is incorrect as written.

At the time reflected by the official release page, 1.26 is a released version, not an upcoming one.

The official Wayland release page lists “July 14, 2026 — Weston 16 has been released” and links the Weston 16.0.0 release announcement there. That directly contradicts the article’s claim that Weston 16.0.0 was released on 4 July 2026.

This appears to be a simple date error in the release-history table.

The article labels Wayland 1.25 as the latest version, but the official Wayland release page shows that Wayland 1.26 was released on July 16, 2026.

Because 1.26 is already released, 1.25 cannot accurately be described as the latest version.

KDE has indeed announced that Plasma 6.8 will be Wayland-exclusive, so the broad direction is correct. However, the article gets the release timing wrong.

KDE’s official Plasma 6 schedule lists Plasma 6.8.0 with a release date of October 14, 2026. KDE’s own announcement about going Wayland-only also says Plasma 6.8 is the release where the X11 session will no longer be included, while separately noting that KDE expects support for the Plasma X11 session to continue into early 2027 via extra Plasma 6.7 bug-fix releases.

So the article appears to have mixed up the end of X11 support in the 6.7 series (early 2027) with the scheduled release date of Plasma 6.8 itself (October 2026).
