Public bug reported: The Ubuntu Desktop Team wants to ship gnome-shell/mutter 3.26 with Ubuntu 17.10. The new version appears to improve responsiveness and has quite a few other improvements and tweaks.
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/NEWS https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/tree/NEWS armhf issue =========== The major blocker now is that gjs 1.49/mozjs52 is not working on armhf. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/786578 If we can't find a fix to this problem, we may need to remove gjs (and rdpends) binaries from armhf. We didn't want to rush into doing this but discuss this more as a team first. One other option is to temporarily remove gjs 1.49 (and gnome-shell, gnome-sushi, polari) from artful-proposed. But since we do want to target mozjs52 for Ubuntu 17.10 for security support reasons, that's only a partial help. Mutter transition ================= mutter 3.26 has a soname bump but the only other rdepend, Budgie, is already confirmed as working with the new version. Packaging is available in the GNOME3 Staging PPA or https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/2916/+packages ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mutter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: The Ubuntu Desktop Team wants to ship gnome-shell/mutter 3.26 with - Ubuntu 17.10. + Ubuntu 17.10.
