This week's installment is a bit light without any update on the latest Sovereign Tech Fund initiatives for the GNOME desktop. What was covered for this week in GNOME's development scope includes the following.
- Libadwaita has a new alert/message dialog style/layout. Here's the screenshot shared of this addition for Libadwaita 1.6:
- Support for building GNOME Shell and Mutter without X11 / XWayland support if so desired for a Wayland-only desktop.
- The Deja Dup backups tool now uses Rclone for cloud support.
- As a reminder, GUADEC 2024 as the annual GNOME developer conference is happening in Denver, Colorado from 19 to 24 July.
