EGL partial updates support< other DRM back-end improvements,

Also, here's a question. Does PipeWire run the audio and video jobs in separate tasks or is it all under the same process?

I might be wrong but I believe the actual stream processing is all done in a single realtime thread.

anyone know whats going on with Wayland Releases ?

If that's true, then that's a problem... It should at least have 2 separate threads/processes, one for audio and another for video.

I don't know the details, but I'm not sure video streams are somehow inherently different from audio to require different treatment at that level.

Renaming weston to tochter would be cool and super accurate.

Pronunciation of [x] would be highly inaccurate at too many occasions though.

I wish the panel location was configurable so you could have it on the bottom instead of the top.
Also that you could minimize applications to the panel.

I wish you could contribute a patch or issue a suggestion in their bug tracker.
I can't count how many times you've been repeating the same suggestions on every Weston thread.
