Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 29 October 2015 at 02:11 PM EDT. 4 Comments

GNOME Shell 3.19.1 and Mutter 3.19.1 were released today for the imminent GNOME 3.19.1 development release with more fixes/improvements for Wayland.

GNOME Shell 3.19.1 is mostly made up of a general bug fixes, but there is a fix to respect the text-scaling factor under Wayland, per this bug entry.

Mutter 3.19.1 meanwhile allows triggering pop-ups through keyboard/touch. Details about that change are here.

Those curious about other GNOME 3.19.1 changes for the packages checked in thus far can see the GNOME announce list. GNOME 3.19.1 meanwhile should be formally announced soon as the first development step towards GNOME 3.20.
