@agx Does this release include the port to GTK4?
@agx Thank you so much for the insight! I can understand concentrating on the other areas that would make the Librem 5 more pleasant to use. It seems like I was wrong to think that GTK4 was needed for accelerated animation in the compositor. I look forward to getting mine to try all the recent polish. Thank you!
@adilarif But you're right that we want GTK4 at some point to have GPU accelerated animations *within* the toolkit (GTK) itself (e.g. for scrolling). It's just that we want to improve some other things that can possibly block adaption of Linux based mobile phones like the Librem 5 first.
@agx Oh, I have a clearer picture of it now. Thank you for taking the time to help me understand. The work you and your teams are doing is incredibly exciting.
@adilarif Switching to GTK4 isn't a top priority for phosh atm as we have accelerated animations in the compositor and there's relatively few UI bits in phosh (compared to other things shell, compositor and OSK need to do and that we want to improve first to make linux mobile phones more pleasant to use). We'll switch eventually to take advantage of some of the GTK4 goodies.
