Build the Windows client against the MSVC ABI while retaining clang
language support. Use vcpkg for ANGLE and libsamplerate, and build
MsQuic with its bundled static OpenSSL.
Add LGProtocol as a pinned submodule and consume its KVMFR protocol
definitions throughout the client, host, IDD, OBS, and profiler.
Keep Looking Glass framebuffer helpers local while removing duplicated
protocol headers and migrating users to KVMFR-scoped types.
Track cadence, interruption, and calibration wake reasons independently
across X11 and Wayland. Feed phase correction back only when a pure
cadence wake renders the exact frame that was queued at that wake.
Propagate EGL swap results through the display-server boundary. Reject
failed presentations and keep pending Wayland HDR descriptions inactive
until the preceding surface commit succeeds.
Copy imported IVSHMEM frames into renderer-owned textures before
acknowledging their LGMP messages. Hold each lease until its copy fence
signals, and protect selected snapshots until rendering completes.
Track independent delivery lanes, drain acknowledgements on the frame
thread, and recover stale queue subscriptions after host timeouts.
Treat a failed desktop texture bind as an incomplete render so full target
restoration remains latched until a frame can actually be drawn.
Carry retired damage into the pending record when the drawable texture does
not contain it, closing the publication gap between texture slots and their
matching damage metadata.
Unbind the streamed desktop pixel upload buffer before ImGui processes
CPU-backed font atlas updates.
This prevents atlas pointers from being interpreted as PBO offsets when
DMA is disabled, which caused newly requested glyphs to be missing.
Correlate received frames with the texture update actually consumed by
the renderer and retain damage until its token becomes renderable.
Split client latency into dispatch, import, queue, preparation, setup,
effects, desktop, composition, and swap stages in FRAME LATENCY.
Exclude diagnostic overlay work from composition and preserve client
wait time when producer timing is unavailable.
Publish joined samples through a bounded token queue, avoid sleeping
while producer timing is finalized, and correct Wayland photon units.
Use calibrated copy-queue timestamps to separate source and effect
waits from the actual framebuffer copy.
Exclude producer readiness waits from client import timing so the
same interval is not counted in both Copy and Import.
Add an optional EGL framebuffer capture path for the test transport.
Capture the fully composed frame before presentation and retain its
surface format and HDR state for validation.
Add GoogleTest integration tests which run the production client
under a headless Weston compositor and compare every output pixel
against an independent reference implementation.
The matrix covers BGRA, RGBA, BGR32, RGB24, PQ RGBA10 and scRGB
RGBA16F with full, moving, overlapping, maximum-count, invalid, null
and zero-area damage rectangles. Validate HDR-to-SDR conversion and
native HDR output metadata when supported by the compositor.
Keep tests opt-in through ENABLE_RENDER_TESTS and document how to run
the software and native HDR tiers.
Move shared-memory ownership, LGMP session handling, queue access, and
DMA setup behind a transport interface. The LGMP backend preserves the
existing zero-copy frame and DMA paths while owning its lgmp:* options.
Expose the initialized EGL context through a versioned renderer interop
record for future accelerated decode backends. Add an LGMP-independent,
deterministic test transport for graphics-pipeline validation.
Convert HDR scRGB input to normalized linear Rec.2020 before CAS, then
convert the filtered result back to scRGB. Use the content metadata to
select an appropriate normalization peak while leaving SDR unchanged.
This follows AMD's documented recommendation for applying CAS to HDR
content and prevents HDR highlights from being clamped and dimmed.
PQ sources excluded every external filter from the post-process chain.
Decode PQ/BT.2020 into FP16 linear scRGB before active effects and pass
the resulting transfer state to the desktop shader.
Keep the raw PQ path when no effect is active. This avoids adding a
conversion pass or per-frame latency to the common case.
Decode PQ/BT.2020 desktop pixels into an FP16 linear scRGB target before
compositing the color cursor, ImGui, damage overlay, and letterboxing.
Encode the damaged result to PQ once at the surface boundary. Keep logical
AND/XOR cursor masks in the encoded domain.
This preserves premultiplied cursor edges, prevents encoded-domain
blending, uses the Wayland output reference white for local overlays, and
keeps guest cursor white and display calibration independent from frame
SDR white. It also corrects HDR-to-SDR absolute luminance scaling, gamut
matrices, black handling, and buffer-age repair for the extra pass.
Suppress overlays when their conversion framebuffer is unavailable rather
than allowing unconverted sRGB draws into an HDR target.
Use named transfer constants for cursor shader state. Convert clipped
surface rectangles explicitly before using the frame-damage merge helper,
which avoids mixing its unsigned type with the EGL surface rectangle type.
Only advertise native PQ when the FP16 composition target is available.
SDR and native scRGB retain their direct single-pass paths.
Request true floating-point EGL configs for scRGB and expose the native
encodings supported by the selected surface. Fall back to software HDR
mapping when the surface cannot represent the incoming wire format.
Resample PQ in linear light, keep SDR-only effects out of native PQ
chains, and consume the cursor-specific white level without changing
binary monochrome cursor mask operations.
Keep software HDR mapping enabled until the display server activates the
requested image description. Re-evaluate the state while rendering so
asynchronous readiness or failure updates the desktop, cursor, and overlay
together with a full redraw.
