Wayland 1.26 Released: Pointer Warp Event and Protocol Fixes

Software 44574 Published 2026-07-16 18:33 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Wayland 1.26.0 landed today, introducing a new wl_pointer.warp event that allows compositors to programmatically reposition cursors without relying on simulated user input. The release also resolves long-standing race conditions in global object removal through a dedicated synchronization request, stabilizing client-compositor communication during monitor changes and feature toggles. Additional refinements include symmetrical socket file descriptor management and microsecond-precision timestamps for WAYLAND_DEBUG logging to speed up developer troubleshooting. Compositors and toolkits will adopt the updated protocol in upcoming releases, with widespread Linux distribution support expected over the coming months.

Valve Releases SteamOS 3.8.15 Stable Update with Composition Fix and HDR Patch

Software 44574 Published 2026-07-16 16:53 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Valve has released SteamOS 3.8.15 to stable and 3.8.23 to beta, with the stable update delivering a critical composition performance patch and an HDR fix for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resync. The beta channel includes a Proton fix for delayed game start times but lacks the composition improvement, creating a rare scenario where stable effectively leapfrogs the preview channel. Valve explicitly advises beta users experiencing performance degradation to switch to stable immediately, as the necessary fix is already live there and hasn't synchronized downstream.

PostgreSQL 19 Beta 2 Released: Native Graph Queries, Unified REPACK and Feature Freeze

Software 44574 Published 2026-07-16 16:11 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Several breaking changes in string handling, index opclasses, and encoding require careful planning before migration. Database administrators and developers should review the open items list and benchmark their workloads against the new build.

Rust 1.97.1 Release: Critical LLVM Miscompilation Fix Lands One Week After 1.97.0

Software 44574 Published 2026-07-16 15:53 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Rust 1.97.1 dropped on July 16, 2026, just seven days after the 1.97.0 stable release to address a critical LLVM miscompilation that has affected code since version 1.87. The patch backports an upstream LLVM fix and reverts a rustc change that lowered the bug's activation threshold, preventing users from compiling incorrect binaries that have been lurking since the 1.87 release. This urgent update follows 1.97.0, which brought heavy structural changes including v0 symbol mangling enabled by default and stabilized Cargo warning controls to replace legacy RUSTFLAGS workarounds. Users should run rustup update stable immediately to patch the issue, while teams adopting the new 1.97.0 features should verify that their debuggers and profilers remain compatible with the updated symbol format.
