Alright, good to hear. 17.2 will be released in August, hope it gets there ;) > I'm yet not fully informed of the state of vulkan work, so that may take > a little longer.

Right, it was a late addition to zesty, and with the vulkan code shuffle in mesa upstream I can't manage to get it to build anymore :) It's something stupid I'm sure (missing prototypes), but can't figure out what's wrong with my tired eyes.. > Is the xserver reference to Xmir?

There might be 1.20 released in time for artful, getting it there would be great. -- t -- Mir-devel mailing list Mir-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/mir-devel
