phosh 0.24.0 is out 🚀📱 : See https://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/Phosh_0_24_0_released.html for details.

As of todays #linux-next (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tag/?h=next-20210112) you can run the #librem5devkit without any additional patches using the default mainline arm64 #defconfig. This means distributions can enable it without trouble from #linux 5.12 onwards. The #librem5 itself needs some more work but it builds a lot on what we have for the devkit.

Wasn't aware of https://mas.to/@markwyner/109797687993819959 - I will switch to #MobileLinux from now on.

@purism Instead of having multiple posts for the different components I aggregated things into a single document. Let me know if this makes sense.

phosh 0.24.0 is out 🚀📱 : See https://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/Phosh_0_24_0_released.html for details.

I've tagged an initial version 0.0.1 of gmobile, a small supporting library used by #phosh, #feedbackd and soon #phoc for notches/cutouts, timers and the like: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/gmobile/-/releases/v0.0.1

This is in early stages but maybe there's some stuff useful for other projects.

#linuxmobile #mobilelinux

As the last component of the 0.23.0 release set #phoc 0.23.0 is out, fixing the pixman renderer to help #CI testing, running in #qemu and platforms that can't or don't want to use GLES2. If you don't need any of these it's safe to wait for 0.24.0.

Next steps (after cleaning up a bit and getting it merged) is allowing phosh to make better use of that information (e.g. to shift ui elements to the side instead of down) and providing the information to wayland clients so e.g. video players can make use of it in fullscreen mode.

phosh using that information to push the top panel down because there's a (simulated) notch:

phoc rendering cutouts in nexted mode to simulate cutouts and rounded edges:

Some progress to handle notches / cutouts of #linuxmobile phones better in #phosh : I have a small lib that gets panel cutout / notch information as #svg paths and can calculate a bounding box . #phoc can use it to render cutouts for debugging and #phosh can use it for layout (so far only to shift the panel down). (see follow up posts for more pictures).

And as a late arrival there's phosh-tour 0.23.0 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-tour/-/releases/v0.23.0) mostly to fix metainfo validation.

MR is at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/devhelp/-/merge_requests/53

I somewhat revived #gnome's #devhelp --search-assistant for library documentation generated using gi-docgen (which thankfully more and more projects around #gtk switch to). This allows me to have quick doc access in #emacs again where I was only looking at an empty window before:
