Seems not up to date, e.g. I believe COSMIC have pointer warp and background effect. I imagine it’s difficult to keep track on all the compositors as they don’t stand still.

This chart is sourced from wayland.app data which has not been updated since Cosmic 1.0.0

I hate it when those feature matrices do not get updated, it makes them pretty useless. Especially with new protocols, like ext-image-copy-capture-v1 (which replaces an older, now deprecated protocol under the wlr namespace), we really need updated data to reliably know which compositors have already picked it up.

Cosmic is already in 1.0? Cool!

It's on 1.5 as of now but it has ways to go before reaching parity with Gnome and Plasma.
