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.

Massive leap forward for Panfrost!

Now there's a very cool native app by @rafaelmardojai to do it locally!
