Mesa 24.3 Open-Source Graphics Stack Adds Vulkan 1.3 Conformance for V3DV

Coming more than three months after Mesa 24.2, the Mesa 24.3 release is here to introduce Vulkan 1.3 conformance for the V3DV graphics driver for Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 devices, which should give the Raspberry Pi OS distribution a serious graphics boost the next time you update it. In addition, the V3DV driver received support for the VK_KHR_shader_relaxed_extended_instruction Vulkan extension.

Update: 1768.py Version 0.0.18

This new version of 1768.py brings an option to try out all 256 xor keys if a non-standard XOR key is used to encode the configuration. Like this sample (key !): 1768_v0_0_18.zip (http)MD5: 323D6D20483257D76D7F9DAD07AAF630SHA256: 653CB75FF59C27FB9A2FD651DDE2EC81A4F577F7F9050353CB0B75DF6CA95773
The Capability-Tractability Tradeoff

The more things your system can represent, the less you can say about the things that are represented.

ie, if you store strings as ASCII then you can’t represent “ââð¦”, while if you store strings as Unicode then the string’s length isn’t well-defined. We’ll say that Unicode is more capable while ASCII is more tractable.

This is one of the most important tradeoffs in CS, up there with space-time tradeoffs. It has a pretty simple reason, too: the more things your system can represent, the fewer things they all have in common, and the more likely any assertion about that set will have a counterexample.
Request Page Redesign - Two More Action Types and Better Comments on Changes

We are back to working on the request page redesign. This time we have focused on improving comments on lines in the Changes tab, enhancing the requests with multiple actions and supporting requests that intend to delete projects/packages and to change the development package of a package. The request redesign is part of the beta program. We started the redesign of the request workflow in August 2022.
