The new Wayland explicit synchronization protocol has been merged! 🎉

It was a long and tiring journey, but glad we finally got it done!

hut now supports importing previously exported data!

hut export dump/
hut import dump/

Useful for migrating between instances, or for migrating to a new username, or for migrating a project to another account, or for building tools to import from other forges, etc etc

New pyonji feature: when re-submitting a new version of a patch, pyonji automatically re-uses previous settings (e.g. mailing list address) and bumps the version.

Today I joined a Matrix room via Element, and as usual during 1min of usage:

- It's a new device so it insisted on verifying it, had to click through to skip the warning messages because I honestly don't care do and don't have my other device available (which one was it again?)
- The messages didn't load, had to toggle another room for them to show up
- The unread message indicator says "unable to find timeline" or something when clicked
- Some messages have "failed to load" under then for some reason, maybe it's a reply and the parent message can't be loaded?

So yeah, still about as broken as last time I tried.

We *finally* merged support for output layers in wlroots! This means that soon-ish wlroots compositors will be able to leverage KMS planes. (libliftoff is used under the hood.)

I want to re-iterate that just because NVIDIA supports GBM doesn't mean wlroots will officially support NVIDIA.

I welcome NVIDIA's move of implementing the standard APIs, it's a nice step forward. However, it's still closed source. That means not only developers are forced to install closed source software on their machine, but also that they work with a black box.

We're routinely sending patches to upstream and downstream projects like the kernel drivers, Mesa, GTK, Firefox, etc. This is only possible because they're open-source software.
