    Did they fix their terrible HiDPI detection?

    Hi, I just upgraded to 0.14 and HiDPI support worked as expected with my Dell XPS 13 QHD+ (3.200x1.800) out of the box. Unfortunately, when I boot with the LID closed and two 2560x1440 25" external...

        In terms of new features, the experimental Platform QML types look nifty to me, though I'd love to see ES2015/ES6 support for QML some point in a near future release.

          No it isn't, because it sets a 3x scaling factor on my laptop when it should set 2x. Edid from the monitor is 100% correct.

              No, it *isn't* a good default. It's a terrible one. Even no scaling at all would be a better default. No other toolkit chooses such a terrible default, do you know why? Because it's a *terrible* one.
