** Description changed: Impact ------ There is a new bugfix release in the stable 42 series. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/blob/42.9/NEWS 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 + 3. In the typing section, click 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.
