Louvre v2.10.0-1

Louvre (2.10.0-1)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue of black textures appearing on proprietary NVIDIA drivers (and potentially others). Thanks @renhiyama and @kingdomkind for all your help!
• Fixed synchronization issues between threads that were causing partial texture updates.
• Replaced calls to wl_client_destroy() with wl_resource_post_error() when an unknown buffer type is committed, which was causing segfaults. Thanks @Ramblurr for reporting it!
• Fixed segfault occurring when an idle inhibitor resource was destroyed.
• Wayland Backend: Resolved issue where modifier keys were not released when the window lost focus. Thanks @renhiyama for reporting it!

API Additions

• Added LTexture::setFence() and LRenderBuffer::setFence() to prevent partial updates when used as source textures.
• Added LTexture::setDataFromGL() to enable wrapping of already created OpenGL textures.

Performance

• Replaced glFinish() calls with fences, ensuring synchronization without requiring CPU-side waiting.

Tests

• Added test to validate support for common texture formats and the synchronization of updates across threads.

Dependencies

• Updated SRM dependency to version >= v0.8.0.

Thanks @renhiyama, @kingdomkind, and @Fox2Code for your invaluable support!

Louvre v2.4.1-1

Louvre (2.4.1-1)

Bug Fixes

• DRM Backend: Added missing SRM version checks to prevent symbol resolution issues with older versions, thanks to @Silitonix.
• Added missing pointer focus checks in the default pointer button event implementation to securely handle cases where users unset it from indirectly triggered events.
• louvre-views: Fixed bug causing occasional unminimizing of toplevel windows when switching to the main workspace of an output.
• louvre-views: Fixed bug causing compositor to get stuck in an infinite loop when associating Wayland clients with application PIDs, thanks to @panaflexx.
• louvre-views: Toplevel windows with subsurfaces are now hidden, and their captures are displayed immediately during fullscreen animations. This change prevents visual glitches caused by clients updating subsurface sizes before acknowledging the toplevel configuration.

  • Introduced louvre.desktop file for launching louvre-views as a Wayland session.
