+      The original way to announce available outputs is to create a wl_output

+      output removal is racy and can lead to client crashes. The wl_output_list
+      interface provides a safer way to deal with output updates.
+
+      Note that the minimum supported wl_output_list version is 5. If this
+      global is bound with a version less than 5, the unsupported_version error
+      will be posted.

       An output describes part of the compositor geometry.  The

       actually visible.  This typically corresponds to a monitor that

+      This object is published as global during start up, or when a monitor

+
+      If the compositor announces the wl_output_list global, it is subject
+      to compositor policies whether available outputs are published as
+      wl_output globals too. For the compatibility reasons, it is recommended
+      that the compositors announce wl_output globals as well.
+
+      Note! New clients should use the wl_output_list instead of binding
+      wl_output globals. wl_output globals are prone to races that can lead
+      to various client crashes.
