Better Half-Tiling Support Lands For Mutter 3.26.1 & GTK3

Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 4 October 2017 at 05:59 AM EDT. 15 Comments

The improvements covered a few months ago about better half-tiling support in GNOME have finally been queued.

For the imminent Mutter 3.26.1 point release and adjoining changes queued for the upcoming GTK+ 3.22.23 update, the "smarter" half-tiling improvements are present.

Georges Stavracas passed along the work landing for this GNOME 3.26.1 point release. Great to see it making it for the GNOME 3.26.1 point release rather than having to wait until 3.28.

Here's the video Georges posted this summer of the smart half-tiling work:
