Released earlier this month were various GNOME 49 Alpha 0 packages including for GNOME Shell and the Mutter compositor while out this weekend are the "Alpha 1" releases. On top of the changes found in the Alpha 0 releases a few weeks ago, GNOME Mutter 49 Alpha 1 adds a speed limit on visual alerts, makes logical monitors more persistent, increasing the bias toward smaller scaling factors, adding support for 10/12/16 bit software decoder YUV formats, a fix around high resolution scroll wheel events, applying touchpad acceleration profiles on startup, and various crash fixes and other general bug fixes. GNOME Shell 49 Alpha 1 meanwhile adds support for pad dials, showing the workspace switcher on-screen display across all monitors, adding the "gnome-extensions upload" command for easily uploading GNOME extensions, adding do-not-disturb to quick settings, and adding a dedicated accessibility menu to the login screen.
