Month: 2024-10. Focused on OpenXR stability and dynamic composition layers in godotengine/godot. Key bug fix resolved a crash-prone sequence by ensuring the OpenXR session is running before adding composition layers, preventing crashes or undefined behavior when layers are added at runtime. Implemented in commit e2386de50502d740b2b74df3dba63a9e0da06c36 with message: 'Fix bug with OpenXR composition layers added after OpenXR is running'. Impact: improved runtime stability for OpenXR apps, reduced crashes related to dynamic layer changes, and groundwork laid for safer runtime composition handling.
