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: gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/l

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

'whoogle' which allows you to host your own Google search. Here's an example isntance: search.garudalinux.org/search

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 :)

@selea Hope you're well! Thanks again for hosting a mirror for us! I wonder how much bandwidth on average our distro takes? I suppose that may be hard to calculate given you host other distros, but if you had a general idea that would be cool. There's someone who's asking since they want to host a mirror as well.

At least some hope: "The ratio of commits by female authors has grown steadily over the past 50 years, reaching in 2019 for the first time 10% of all contributions to public code." Thanks @zacchiro for your work here.

With GNOME 40, most core apps are going to have rounded bottom corners.

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 ;)

Relevant docs: gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/l

@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!

OpenPGP in Your Pocket

"Access to the smart card reader on the Librem 5 is something we at Purism have been looking forward to for a long time. That day is finally here..."

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 :) github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/
