Oct 1, 2025October 2025 performance summary for slint-ui/slint Overview: Delivered a robust cross-platform rendering stack, improved UI text rendering behavior, and strengthened CI/build reliability. Achievements span feature delivery, stability fixes, and modernization of the graphics/tooling stack, enabling faster iterations and higher quality releases across desktop and mobile targets. Key features delivered: - Parley Rendering Interface Improvements: Simplified stroke and brush interface toward the renderer to streamline integration and reduce complexity. - Qt Text Rendering Integration: Enabled Parley-based text rendering in Qt, allowing downstream Qt integration to leverage the Parley rendering pipeline. - Parley and Fontique Upgrades: Upgraded Parley and Fontique to version 0.6 for better compatibility and features. - Bevy/Graphics Upgrades: Upgraded Bevy to 0.17, updated FemtoVG to wgpu 27, and added Skia support for wgpu 27 integration to improve performance and GPU backend coverage. - Text rendering enhancements: Implemented TextOverflow::Clip, fixed horizontal alignment and wrap behavior in Parley TextInput, and improved text rendering robustness across Parley and FemtoVG. - AccessKit upgrade: Upgraded to the latest AccessKit release for improved accessibility integration. - Android improvements: Added BackendSelector support and require_wgpu options for more flexible backend control in Android builds. - Platform/tooling modernization: Bumped Rust MSRV to 1.88 and updated the CI/Build tooling to maintain MSRV alignment and stabilize CI across newer crates. - Graphics and rendering performance improvements: Upgraded FemtoVG renderer, addressed wasm font metrics and rendering performance, and refined WGPU texture handling (srgb textures, removal of double buffering). - Quality and reliability: CI stabilization fixes for mysterious failures and improved build compatibility with newer crates and ObjC2 updates, plus documentation and formatting cleanups. Overall impact: The stack modernization and rendering reliability improvements unlock more consistent cross-platform UI rendering, reduce integration burden for downstream consumers (Qt, WGPU-based renderers), and shorten time-to-market for UI/features by removing long-tail build issues and compatibility headaches. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Parley, Fontique, Qt integration, Bevy, FemtoVG, wgpu, Skia, AccessKit, Android backend configurations, Rust MSRV management, CI/CD stability, wasm/browser build hygiene.

Sep 1, 20252025-09 Monthly summary for slint-ui/slint: Delivered cross‑platform rendering stabilization, enhanced documentation, and advanced runtime integration across macOS, WebGL, wasm demos, Windows, and Android. Key outcomes include cross‑platform rendering stability for live‑reload on macOS, WebGL panics, wasm demo sizing, and HTML canvas resizing; LinuxKMS compatibility with renderer-femtovg; Windows build guardrails for compiling without implicitly enabled features; CI YAML syntax fix and publishing workflow groundwork; and Bevy/Skia/WGPU/DX12 ecosystem updates, including crash fixes on window resize, newer Bevy/Skia/WGPU versions, default vsync, and removal of x86_64 macOS binaries. On the Python side, PyO3 upgrade to 0.26 with sys.exit() support, improved exception handling in slint.run_event_loop, and event‑loop stability fixes; runtime translations from .slint files and documentation updates for PyGettextTranslator; plus broader documentation improvements (Changelog links, release tags) and timer/GC guidance. The Parley/text layout stack received extensive refactoring and centralization: consolidated font-metrics, shared text input helpers, centralized font_size, and Skia text layout integration, improving typography reliability and reuse across the stack. Packaging, distribution, and documentation were streamlined (material packaging changes, Python/NodeJS docs, and cross‑reference updates). These efforts collectively reduce integration risk, accelerate feature delivery, and improve developer experience while expanding cross‑platform support and runtime capabilities.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024 (2024-11) – Slint achieved meaningful renderer improvements, stability fixes, and developer-experience enhancements that collectively increase visual fidelity, reliability, and cross-platform readiness. Key deliverables included: Rendering/Skia enhancements (FemtoVG) to generalize renderer internals, refresh Skia bindings, and pass buffer age to the Skia software renderer; Skia partial rendering behind an environment variable, core-state migration of partial rendering, and damages reporting for softbuffer; documentation and demo improvements (Torizon home-automation, take_snapshot API, docs versioning, and clearer demo instructions); new Translation API and XDG app ID API; ARM64 Node.js package support; and layout/UI/performance refinements along with CI/build infra updates. Major bugs fixed included a Repeater init panic (#3215), logging cleanup, and CI/nightly stabilization fixes. Overall impact: improved rendering quality and stability, broader platform support, and a significantly improved developer experience with better debugging, docs, and automated testing. Technologies demonstrated: Rust, Skia bindings, FemtoVG, partial rendering under environment-variable gating, core-state refactor, macOS objc2 modernization, CI tooling, ARM64 packaging, and internationalization.
