    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    • GNOME Calls now supports AES 256-bit crypto suites for its SIP handling.

    • The Adwaita icon theme added new hand cursors and an updated spinner.

    • Code cleanups and fixes for the GDM display manager.

    • GNOME Builder brings improved Meson-based project templates, support newer Sysprof features, and other fixes.

    • GNOME Control Center has ported more of its code to using libadwaita.

    • Various GNOME Software improvements around PackageKit plug-in search performance, app license display, and more.

      multiseat has been working with Wayland+Weston, etc for a very long time, this is GDM and i don’t know if they will have settings in Gnome for this to work out of the box or not that would be cool if they coded it with a GPU/Video output selector.

        Depends on the definition you choose, but for me it’s the ability to hook up multiple monitors to one PC and have distinct login sessions running concurrently each using its own monitor as well as any paired peripherals like keyboard, mouse, etc. So you can have 2 or more users using a single computer at the same time.
        It’s like a modern-day mainframe with many terminals in concept

          That sounds really cool. But also too elaborate for anything I use my PC for. Although I briefly looked into the idea of Proxmox for something similar.

            Same here, I wouldn’t actually have a use for it right now, but having it you can bet I’d try to use it at least one time for the “novelty” of it (even though it’s anything but novel lol)

            Proxmox for something similar

            Like by having various VMs running and accessing them from different PCs?

              That’s easy in Proxmox, but you can also passthrough USB and display devices directly in order to access a virtualized OS directly on the PC running it. I read some people run virtualized Hackintosh in this way.

    More stable GDM would be awesome. Good to see that Package kit might become less of a memory hog. Cool that they’re rewriting the renderer in the maps app, too.

    Gnome 45 is looking like it’ll be a big update!

      Not looking forward to the extension breakage though, and this time it looks like you can’t simply edit the version in the extension to force it to be compatible…

        Yea, it’s not the hardest porting effort ever because GJS isn’t that far from normal JS but it’s universal breakage because some syntax will change with that move!

    I was really hoping for mutter-vrr to get merged this release. I am happy to see yet another massive update for gnome though.
