Kerem Söke has announced the 1.0 release of Polo, a Wayland compositor for the MATE Desktop Environment: The idea is to keep MATE behaving as closely as possible to how it does on X11, rather than changing the desktop to fit a different compositor. [...] Window management, metacity, workspaces, tiling, XWayland, clipboard and clipman support, multiple monitors, display scaling, hotplugging, screenshots, screen sharing, and session management are all working. I've also added desktop effects: fade, zoom, zap, spin, squeemize, magic lamp, desktop cube, expo, and wobbly windows. Söke is looking for people to test Polo, particularly on multi-monitor setups, and report back with problems.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has blessed seven C++ language revisions since 1998. The language is mostly developed by ISO's Working Group 21, which considers proposed additions and amendments, integrates them into a document, and then presents that document to the main ISO body to be voted on as a standard. On October 23, for the first time ever, ISO declined to ratify a document presented by Working Group 21, leaving the future of the C++26 standard in doubt. The decision was driven by controversy around a proposed new "contracts" feature that would add pre- and post-conditions to function signatures.

Daniel Stenberg reflects on the 30th anniversary of the curl project. libcurl runs in an estimated thirty billion installations today. It is a rough estimate since the majority of all libcurl users never tell us they use it, but we need to find it mentioned in their credit screens, open source license windows or their manuals. A super popular app might use libcurl today and not tomorrow, or vice versa, which can make the numbers shift by several billions overnight. In reality of course, once the pulse raise has calmed down and your ego is content, these numbers do not matter. In our corner of the world, things don't change notably when we go from a thousand installs to billions. We still work with similar people, in similar ways, with similar challenges.

Version 0.46 of the Zellij terminal workspace has been released. This release includes a major addition in Zellij: Zellij is now also a desktop terminal. To run it: zellij terminal. It works on linux, mac and windows. Nothing changes for the normal multiplexer - Zellij can still run inside another terminal. Both sessions are the same and can be shared. Additional features in this release include a GUI settings screen, session previews, and right-click menu. See this walkthrough for more on the 0.46 release.

Guido van Rossum conveys the sad (and somewhat delayed) news of the passing of Tim Peters. It's hard to overestimate Tim's influence on Python. He's probably best known for writing the Zen of Python (PEP 20), but to me he was a mentor and language co-designer long before that. Tim found Python not long after its initial release. His first deed was to convince me that Python should support mixed arithmetic between int and float, because most users would expect them to work that way. And he never stopped contributing.
