Valkey, a high-performance key/value datastore, will be replacing redis in the [extra] repository. This change is due to Redis modifying its license from BSD-3-Clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20th, 2024.

Arch Linux Package Maintainers intend to support the availability of the redis package for roughly 14 days from the day of this post, to enable a smooth transition to valkey. After the 14 day transition period has ended, the redis package will be moved to the AUR. Also, from this point forward, the redis package will not receive any additional updates and should be considered deprecated until it is removed.

Users are recommended to begin transitioning their use of Redis to Valkey as soon as possible to avoid possible complications after the 14 day transition window closes.

As part of the Digital Wellbeing / Parental Controls work funded by Endless, the GNOME Foundation is seeking proposals from qualified contractors or teams to design and implement a comprehensive desktop-wide web/network filtering solution for the GNOME desktop.

Add a new «GetHostPaths» method to the Document portal, which allows mapping file descriptors to paths on the host system. This can be used by apps to show more meaningful file paths in the user interface.

Looking forward to this. If you’ve been bothered by /run file paths in Flatpak apps before, you should do so as well, because this finally enables apps to show the «real» path instead.

From Team:

Hi everyone,

We’re relentlessly working to improve Proton Drive’s performance across all platforms thanks to your valuable feedback.

This week ends with an update in Proton Drive’s encryption that increases single file upload by 140% on the macOS app.

If you haven’t already, you can download the Proton Drive macOS app here: https://proton.me/drive/download. 

We recognize that we still need to address other optimizations and fixes. This improvement is yet another step in our commitment to deliver reliable, fast, and secure apps for you.

Let us know what you think, and please keep your feedback coming!

What surprised me was that the author of the feature is an employee of Volkswagen who has worked on this on their behalf.

When opening / saving files, you’ll now be presented with a window similar to the main window of Files. The new file picker is actually part of Files, so it utilizes a lot of existing code. It’s also adaptive, and a lot more open for changes than the one built into GTK.

This branch implements support for transforming SDR (sRGB) to a HDR enabled output, while allowing HDR content to stay intact.

Roughly what it does is, when HDR mode is enabled via the experimental property, all the stage views that represents outputs where HDR actually managed to be enabled starts to composite in a linear variant of the target color space (which will be BT.2020) via an intermediate framebuffer. Each thing being painted should then transform its pixels to fit in this color space, using an EOTF, a color space mapping matrix and luminance adaptation.

Here is the merge request

From €500 to €10,000 depending on criticality. For now only GLib is in scope but we will expand the list of modules and advertise as the program grows.

If you are a GNOME or freedesktop module maintainer and would like your module to join the pilot program; please get in touch.

In partnership with YesWeHack and Sovereign Tech Fund.
