Gnome Shell and friends:
- Continued progress toward making 4K (or any resolution) faster and smoother…
- The workspace preview mipmapping performance/antialiasing fix landed in mutter 3.37.3. I think this one should be a priority for inclusion in 3.36.5.
- The background texture filtering performance fix landed in mutter 3.37.4. Though it doesn’t have the same measurable impact as the mipmapping fix does.
- Implemented more aggressive actor culling in mutter. Particularly for the overview but it probably helps elsewhere.
- Proposed an optimization to avoid touching every pixel on every frame in the overview.
- Proposed an optimization to workspace switching. Landed in 3.37.4.
- Redesigned the new COGL_DEBUG mode for profiling into two separate modes.
- Resolved some minor FIXMEs in cogl within mutter.
Bug tracking:
- Lots of bug mail to triage, as always.
- Backlog tracking
Other randomness:
- Verified the high precision touchpad fix for Wayland sessions in Chromium 84.
- Help wanted with sponsorship: BlueZ 5.54 in groovy
