Libadwaita 1.0.0-alpha.1 is out!

Start porting your application from GTK 3 and Libhandy to GTK 4 and Libadwaita now with our migration guide: https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/1.0.0-alpha.1/migrating-libhandy-1-4-to-libadwaita.html

Be aware that the API is bound to change until the first beta, planned for mid-August.

Just a little demo.

GTK4's GPU-accelerated GL renderer(s) got a major performance boost in the last few days! Previously it struggled to render simple UIs with single digit FPS on the Librem 5; now it can get pretty fancy :) #librem5 #gnome #gnomeonmobile #gtk

Many third party apps have already had them for a while but if your app doesn't yet, you still have a few weeks to get it in shape before 40 ;)

I will be mentoring someone (might be you?) this summer as part of GSoC to port one of the design toolings apps to GTK 4.

It's also a great opportunity to get familiar with gtk4-rs & librsvg ;-)

@todd @kyle next time people ask why the L5 is more expensive than other Linux phones I will point to this toot. (Besides beefier hardware) Thanks for contributing to the *real* open ecosystem!

Coming soon to a Librem 5 near you: support for the internal OpenPGP smart card reader.

Spent some time on getting my old Librem 5 port of Jumpdrive into shape, so it can get upstreamed. It's a super useful little recovery utility to have in your tool belt :) https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/pull/24 #librem5 #gnu #linux #mobile
