** Description changed:
- Release mutter 42.9 to jammy
+ Impact
+ ------
+ There is a new bugfix release in the stable 42 series.
+ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/blob/42.9/NEWS
- At least 42.6 is required to fix bug 1961563 (Xilinx Wayland support)
- and bug 1988256
+ The overall GNOME project considers GNOME 42 to be end of life now and
+ there are no more scheduled releases for mutter 42 after 42.9
+
+ This is basically a prerequisite for GNOME Shell 42.9 LP: #2023913
+
+ The current version of Mutter in Jammy is 42.5.
+
+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ Complete the test case from
+
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/Mutter
+
+ Extra Test Case 1
+ -----------------
+ This release also cherry-picks a patch to fix the prompt to enable
accessibility features using keyboard shortcuts.
+
+ 0. Install the updated mutter packages. Then log out and log back in.
+ 1. Open the Settings app (gnome-control-center)
+ 2. In the left sidebar, click Accessibility
+ 3. In the typing section, lick Typing Assist
+ 4. Turn on the first switch to enable turning accessibility features on and
off using the keyboard
+ 5. Close the Settings app
+ 6. Press the Shift key 5 or 6 times in a row
+ 7. You should see a system prompt about turning on Sticky Keys
+
+ What Could Go Wrong
+ -------------------
+ Mutter is an essential component of the default Ubuntu desktop and for the
desktop used by Ubuntu Budgie.
+
+ A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their
+ desktop version of Ubuntu.
+
+ Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.
+
+ mutter is part of GNOME Core and is included in the GNOME micro release
+ exception
+
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME
+
+ Other Info
+ ----------
+ Upstream assumes that people will be using matching versions of mutter and
gnome-shell. To be cautious, I therefore bumped the dependency version in GNOME
Shell 42.9 to require mutter >= 42.9 (even though GNOME Shell 42.9 appears to
run ok with Mutter 42.5). I believe the only way to make the dependency
relationship work the other way (not allow Mutter 42.9 with GNOME Shell 42.5)
requires bumping the Breaks version but I don't think it's worth using Breaks
unless necessary.
+
+ This release will also enable AMD Xilinx/Mali support on Wayland. See
+ https://ubuntu.com/download/amd-xilinx or private bug 1961563 or the
+ 42.6 release notes.
