* rename effective_size_constraints to effective_minimum_size and minor cleanups
Flatten nested guards in swipe cleanup, recording updates and popup dismissal. Use an eager optional fallback for workspace layouts and an array in the malformed-opacity test.
Store decoded pixels and RGB conversion scratch in anonymous mappings so dropping an image releases its pages. Reclaim decoder scratch on the worker thread after each load.
Verify PNG, JPEG and WebP pixels against the existing decoder and cover decode limits and corrupt files. Add an isolated release memory regression for repeated 4K wallpaper loads.
Group workspaces with Overview and status controls with the clock. Keep themed backgrounds and borders around each island, with click-through gaps and configurable side padding defaulting to 4 px.
Capture blur within each panel region and update material and input regions when island bounds change. Cover layout reloads and padding changes with widget and native shell tests.
Update visible shell clocks at their displayed time boundaries and receive recorder state through events, with elapsed updates only while recording. Arm screenshot expiry at the earliest pending deadline and cancel abandoned requests when their IPC client disconnects.
Cache desktop clock formats across shell updates. Transfer owned screenshot readback pixels to the encoder and borrow the canvas for PNG encoding; both paths previously copied a full image. Close the recorder's stdout reader before waiting for its child when a status line is rejected.
Validation: 910 Rust tests passed in the release workspace suite, with 44 ignored. The six screenshot-script tests passed. A private nested release test passed with a visible desktop clock, notification and modal animations, and three real PNG captures. The recorder shutdown and readback ownership regressions failed before their fixes and pass afterwards.
The isolated clock settings check dropped from 30,000 allocations to zero over 10,000 rebuilds. Borrowing the PNG canvas removed 33,177,600 allocated bytes for a 3840x2160 capture while producing identical PNG bytes.
Direct DRM and laptop power checks remain pending.
Update the Ferese symbols, appearance-specific wallpapers, and rounded wallpaper and theme previews. Bundle Figtree and add the Ferese name to the website header.
Verified configuration, theme, Settings, wallpaper and installer tests, both UI renderers, the static site build, and browser layouts.
Use shared corner geometry for shell controls, window clipping, materials and blur masks. Preserve circular pills and controls where appropriate, track contour changes in damage, and use tagged ferese-shape and libcosmic dependencies.
Add capture privacy rules for windows, transient children, overview previews and client cursors, with separate capture rendering and deferred-frame invalidation. Keep detached close snapshots out of captures after clients leave the registry.
Validated with release workspace tests, private compositor/EGL regressions, and an isolated release PipeWire capture test.
Queue popup, modal and notification material geometry and opacity until the matching content buffer commits. Remove event-handler opacity writes that could present material state ahead of content, while preserving compositor dismissal ownership.
Add pending-presentation regression coverage and update the nested shell lifecycle check.
Share window geometry across overview, resize snapshots and retained closes. Advance close handoffs and group retained rendering by stacking position.
Drive shell motion from surface frames, reuse settled widget content, and synchronize notification materials with each card's fade. Replace physical config keys with duration and bounce, and update documentation and regression coverage.
Mount nearby shortcut and theme rows, preserve gallery keyboard navigation, reset page scrolling, and reuse native themes during palette transitions. Prepare and deduplicate live config reloads on a worker and apply only changed runtime sections.
Align pointer focus and overview selection on overlapping outputs, add regression coverage, and clean up workspace Clippy warnings.
Open the four display modes from XF86Display or the external-monitor bar icon. Reuse output reconciliation and confirmation for manual layout changes, and notify the shell when monitor state changes.
Release backdrop locks before render-element queries to prevent blurred popups from freezing the compositor. Cover popup open, update and close with regression tests.
Share translucent card styles between display modes and capture sources, show focus rings during keyboard navigation, and align picker buttons, label sizing and footer spacing with system modals.
