+### [glutin] (and [winit])

+_This cursor may be waiting in vain, but your patience shall be rewarded._
+
+[glutin] is a low-level library for OpenGL context creation, written in pure Rust.
+[glutin] uses and re-exports [winit], which handles window creation and management,
+as well as various input devices.
+
+glutin 0.27.0 makes glutin use the latest version of winit (0.25.0), which was
+released around a month prior to glutin 0.27.0. Usually, we try to keep glutin
+synced with winit, but we couldn't quite manage to do it this time since the person
+who'd usually take responsibility for releasing a new version of glutin was
+unavailable, and no-one had the role of "back-up releaser". [@maroider] has offered
+to fill this role for now.
+
+The upgrade to winit 0.25.0 brings with it a slew of bufixes, a couple of new
+features, and a single breaking change to
+[`WindowBuilderExtMacOS::with_activation_policy`], which has been replaced by
+[`EventLoopExtMacOS::set_activation_policy`].
+
+Notable new features include [`Window::drag_window`], [`Window::is_maximized`], and
+a default menu bar on macOS. We also fixed a couple of long-standing bugs in winit
+on Windows that we're sure many of you have noticed. In fact, one of them is
+displayed in the gif at the top of this section: sometimes, the "wait" cursor would
+be displayed upon the initial creation of the window, even though there was nothing
+to "wait" for. For a full list of changes, refer to [winit's changelog].
