78 | 78 | [glutin] is a low-level library for OpenGL context creation, written in pure Rust.
|
79 | 79 | [glutin] uses and re-exports [winit], which handles window creation and management,
|
80 | 80 | as well as various input devices.

89 | 89 | The upgrade to winit 0.25.0 brings with it a slew of bufixes, a couple of new
|
90 | 90 | features, and a single breaking change to
|
91 | 91 | [`WindowBuilderExtMacOS::with_activation_policy`], which has been replaced by
|
92 | 92 | [`EventLoopExtMacOS::set_activation_policy`]. For a full list of changes, refer

| 95 | +------ |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +The departure and disappearance of a couple of maintainers has left winit in need |
| 98 | +of someone knowledgeable with X11 in order to review pull requests and address |
| 99 | +various issues. Other backends also need some more love, but X11 is the most |
| 100 | +pressing. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +We could also use more helping hands in general, in anything from mapping out |
| 103 | +platform differences and triaging bugs to reviewing PRs and tackling outstanding |
| 104 | +issues. We'd also be happy to have you even if all you do is answer platform-specific |
| 105 | +questions for us. If you're interested, come say hi in our [matrix] channel or on |
| 106 | +any of the [other services] we've bridged with matrix. |
