One test fails for me: cogl-test-offscreen-texture-formats-gl3

Not sure if it's "only me" issue.

[Xi Ruoyao]

I'm observing a crash (while I was viewing one website in epiphany it happened several times, but not happened in other situations). It seems fixable by ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2940/.

Nope, it was a different issue: ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2737

Upstream developers has posted a simple fix in the page, which seems working for me.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Now 44.1, including the fixes I've mentioned. And we can also use --buildtype=release now.

[Xi Ruoyao]

There is an issue breaking the screencast functionality (needed by things like GNOME Remote Desktop and OBS but they are not in BLFS) in 44.1 and fixed with ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2988. I'm not sure what should we do. We can add it as a patch but should we patch things for non-BLFS usage?

[Douglas R. Reno]

Does this impact GNOME's internal screen recorder? If it does, we definitely need to fix it because I use it frequently when making bug reports

It does not. The internal screen recorder uses the RecordArea API even if the "Area" is a whole monitor. The only broken API is RecordMonitor, while both RecordArea and RecordWindow are fine.
