Feb 1, 2025Month: 2025-02 Key features delivered: - Wayland input correctness improvement: fixed key release handling to prevent keys from getting stuck when multiple keys share the same keycode. Implemented release events for keys pressed and then modified. Commit: 54755a27e963e87a71de182a132cc1caf7ec5bc6. Major bugs fixed: - Wayland: Unstuck keys with same keycode. (Commit 54755a27e963e87a71de182a132cc1caf7ec5bc6). Improves input correctness on Wayland by ensuring proper key release processing. - Editor Frame Waiting: Prevent deadlock by ensuring surface commits even when not rendering. (Commit cbd68eb4036c006533be7bffe4615a7a9e0aec05). Prevents stalls and improves frame signaling to the compositor. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved input reliability and editor stability on Wayland, reducing user-visible issues and improving interaction with the compositor. - Strengthened release-quality fixes with targeted commits; contributed to smoother builds and developer confidence in Wayland support. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Wayland input handling, frame waiting and surface commit logic, debugging and patch design, code review and precise git commits, cross-module collaboration.
