summary
Updates list concrete wins: GLib moves to GLib regex engine v2 and adds thumbnail/high‑DPI support and new GIO async APIs; GJS adds native promises and better logging; Pango gains serialization and baseline fixes, GTK 4 reaches 4.8 with column view and a new GTK inscription for faster lists; Mutter ships PipeWire hardware‑accelerated screencasting, reduced input latency, color‑managed compositor work and HDR plumbing; GNOME Shell adds built‑in screenshot/screencast UI and quick settings; distro ports and flatpak/payment efforts are underway.
