Changelog

Notable features

  • picom now uses dithering to prevent banding. Banding is most notable when using a strong background blur. (#952)
  • Frame pacing. picom uses present feedback information to schedule new frames when it makes sense to do so. This improves latency, and replaces the glFlush and GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1 hacks we used to do for NVIDIA. (#968 #1156)
  • Some missing features have been implemented for the EGL backend (#1004 #1007)

Bug fixes

Build changes

  • Dependency pcre has been replaced by pcre2.
  • New dependency xcb-util.
  • xinerama is no longer used.

Deprecations

  • The kawase blur method is removed. Note this is just an alias to the dual_kawase method, which is still available. (#1102)
