• Simon Ser: Status update, February 2023

  Hi!

  Earlier this month I went to FOSDEM with the rest of the SourceHut staff! It was great meeting face-to-face all of the people I work with. I discussed with lots of folks involved in Wayland, IRC, SourceHut and many other interesting projects. This was my first post-pandemic offline conference

  Last week we’ve released wlroots 0.16.2 and Sway 1.8.1. We’ve spent a fair bit of time trying to square away regressions, and I think we’ve addressed almost all of them. This doesn’t mean we haven’t made any progress on new features and improvements, quite the contrary. We’ve merged Kenny Levinsen’s patches for the new fractional-scaling-v1 protocol, which allows clients to render at fractional scales rather than being forced to use the next integer scale. I’ve continued working on the new wlr_renderer API, and I’ve started experimenting with Vulkan compute. I’m still not sure this is the right path forward, we’ll see where this takes us.
