232 | 232 | [glutin] is a low-level library for OpenGL context creation, written in pure Rust.
|
233 | 233 | [glutin] uses and re-exports [winit], which handles window creation and management,
|
234 | 234 | as well as various input devices.

| 237 | +of winit (0.25.0), which was released around a month prior to glutin 0.27.0. Usually, |

|
243 | 243 | The upgrade to winit 0.25.0 brings with it a slew of bufixes, a couple of new
|
244 | 244 | features, and a single breaking change to
|
245 | 245 | [`WindowBuilderExtMacOS::with_activation_policy`], which has been replaced by
|
246 | 246 | [`EventLoopExtMacOS::set_activation_policy`]. For a full list of changes, refer
|
247 | 247 | to [winit's changelog].

| 249 | +------ |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +The departure and disappearance of a couple of maintainers has left winit in need |
| 252 | +of someone knowledgeable with X11 in order to review pull requests and address |
| 253 | +various issues. Other backends also need some more love, but X11 is the most |
| 254 | +pressing. |
| 255 | + |
| 256 | +We could also use more helping hands in general, in anything from mapping out |
| 257 | +platform differences and triaging bugs to reviewing PRs and tackling outstanding |
| 258 | +issues. We'd also be happy to have you even if all you do is answer platform-specific |
| 259 | +questions for us. If you're interested, come say hi in our [matrix] channel or on |
| 260 | +any of the [other services] we've bridged with matrix. |
