@aday blogged about some of the platform work we've been doing lately.

tl;dr: GNOME apps are going to look so dope in a few months, it's kind of ridiculous :P

⚠️REMINDER: Only download Inkscape from trusted sources and be cautious about emails with links, even if they claim to be from the project. If there's any doubt go to the source. The latest, validated release will always be available for free on our website.

The third issue of This Week in @gnome is out!

Check out what our great community has been up to 🚀

https://thisweek.gnome.org/posts/2021/07/twig-3/

Libadwaita 1.0.0-alpha.2 is out!

It comes with a brand new flat and stylesheet whose accent color is settable by the app devs! 🌈

See our alpha.1→alpha.2 guide: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/migrating-between-development-versions.html

Or start porting from GTK 3 and libhandy: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/migrating-libhandy-1-4-to-libadwaita.html

My dynamic render time MR has finally been merged to Mutter! https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1762

It should give a slight decrease in input latency, especially on lower refresh-rate displays such as 60 Hz. In rare cases it can also give a slight boost to the FPS in GNOME Shell.
