10 Commits • 1 Features
Jul 1, 2026July 2026 delivered a unified cross-platform WindowManager that consolidates window creation, movement, visibility, and event handling across Xlib, XCB, Wayland, Win32, and Linux backends, enabling a consistent Vulkan windowing integration and more stable stream playback. The effort refactored Vulkan window tracking and surface metadata to be platform-agnostic, centralized message loops for stream playback, and hardened Linux backends for reliability. These changes reduced cross-OS drift, improved window geometry accuracy, and laid a solid foundation for future platform-agnostic features and performance optimizations.
