What's Changed

GPU hardware acceleration is now enabled by default on Linux, with automatic crash recovery. The environment variable override is now synced to config for UI consistency.

✨ New Features

  • Default-ON GPU acceleration — DMA-BUF hardware rendering is now enabled by default for all new Linux installs, providing a smoother UI out of the box. ~70% of Linux users (AMD GPUs) benefit immediately without any manual action
  • Env var → config sync — Setting WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 now acts as a one-time import: the preference is synced to config.json so the UI toggle reflects the override and the env var is no longer needed after the first launch

🛠 Improvements

  • Crash sentinel unchanged — The existing gpu_guard crash recovery mechanism works bidirectionally: if DMA-BUF causes a crash on incompatible GPUs (NVIDIA proprietary, Intel + Wayland, Raspberry Pi), the next launch automatically reverts to software rendering
  • i18n — Updated all 26 locale files with default-ON framing for hint text and restart confirmation dialog
