Congrats!
#Mesa 19.0 is out and as usual brings a lot of improved Vulkan, OpenGL and Video accel. drivers for various GPUs: mesa3d.org/relnotes/19.0.…
Reminder: Mesa contains the 3D drivers your distro installs by default; these drivers are usually also the best for GPUs from AMD and Intel.

Remember me complaining about the terse -mm merge commit msgs from akpm? It didn't get any better for Linux 5.1 (git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/8dc…). But that's not a big deal: @tehcaster jumped in and already summarized some highlights: kernelnewbies.org/Linux_5.1 Many thx, much appreciated!

EDID support for qemu
Over the last months I've worked on adding EDID support to qemu. This allows to pass all kinds of information about the (virtual) display to the guest. Preferred video mode, display resolution, monitor name, monitor serial number and more. Current focus is getting the infrastructure in place. Once we have this we can build new features on top. HiDPI support comes to mind for example.www.kraxel.org
