After the enormous pile of features that landed in December, January was a quiet month. We hummed along fixing bugs, adding some small features, and thinking about the future.
I’m pondering how to style text in core widgets like the editor and label, and Elias is thinking about how to improve the layout API. Nothing is ready to share yet, but I’m excited for the next few months!

core gio
Core saw some incremental widget improvements and bugfixes this month. Gordon improved the slider widget and moved some presentation-related fields to the style type instead of the state. Elias fixed some bugs, and Egon fixed a stroke rendering problem.
Breaking changes:
Gordon Klaus:
widget/material: [API] move widget.Float.{Axis,Invert} into material.SliderStyle. db6b4de0
Non-breaking changes:
Gordon Klaus:
widget/material: add Float.Invert. 22aa00f4
Elias Naur:
gpu/internal/rendertest: add issue references to broken tests. References: #479 32c6a9b1app: [Android] sanitize IME snippet bounds. Fixes: #473 ac2c284d
Egon Elbre:
internal/stroke: fix line overlap. When the line overlaps itself backtracking exactly, e.g. bce41536gpu/internal/rendertest: fix alphaClose check. Apparently, alphaClose has been overflowing and giving the wrong answer for a while and hence some of the tests are broken. I currently disabled those tests, because I’m not quite sure where and how they broke. 14a33f3c
