Eye candy (4b, 5, and 6) is being pushed off into a future, most likely point release in favor of reaching the target feature set to allow for bug fixes, testing, reworking of some aspects of the API, and general stabilization of the compositor.

Just found out about this project. Postponing 4b is unfortunate. Lack of shader support (for custom color inversion) is the number one thing keeping me away from wayland.
