Hello everyone,
all through the year 2024 I was mainly in maintenance mode. I was heavily involved in the upgrade of our Linux base version used in dde_linux to 6.6. This involved all platforms but the PinePhone. I also helped with the enablement of the MNT Pocket Reform (USB-host/display drivers).
Additionally, I spent a lot of time debugging for various releases or simply to identify and fix bugs. May it be problems in Webkit, our IP stacks, general driver issues, or regressions.
On the 3D side I did not reach all my goals for 2024, namely enable 3D support for Intel Alder Lake and to build Mesa as a Goa project. While I was able to update Mesa to a 24 version with Alder Lake support, I started to add but did not finish Meson support (a requirement for Mesa) in Goa in order to convert Mesa into a Goa project.
For 2025 I want to join Christian's effort regarding IPv6 for the IP-stack/VFS side while also gathering more knowledge about IPv6 internals in general. Also I would like to have a look into support for newer Intel generations of our GPU multiplexer/driver.
Kind regards,
Sebastian
