Mutter 3.17.4 Improves HiDPI On Wayland, Adds Compositor-Side Animated Cursors

Written by Michael Larabel in GNOME on 23 July 2015 at 08:27 AM EDT. Add A Comment

Alongside this morning's release of GNOME Shell 3.17.4 is the release of GNOME's Mutter 3.17.4.

Mutter 3.17.4 is a bit more feature-rich this time around than the GNOME Shell updates. The new development version of Mutter has improved HiDPI handling on Wayland and support for compositor-side animated cursors. Another change to benefit Wayland is allowing basic configuration of dummy outputs when Mutter is running as a nested Wayland compositor.

Besides these Wayland and animated cursor additions, there are also the usual assortment of bug-fixes.

More details from this Git tag.
