malPSA: anyone with devices using android base 8 or newer make sure you update the libhybris used in hybris-hal build because latest qt5-qpa-hwcomposer-plugin requires updating that14:59
malit seems many devices had webhooks for that and there will be failure to get UI working until the hwc2 compat module is updated14:59
malsorry about that but there wasn't any better way, well I could have given some time for devices to update the hwc2 compat module in hybris-hal build but not sure how time would have been enough15:08

T42<adampigg> mal: so, its safe to update libhubris and qt5-qpa-hwcomposer-plugin to latest tags for build in 5.0 ?20:53
T42<adampigg> are there notable benefits? (other than not having to build a fork)20:54
T42<Mister_Magister> libhubris, HA20:54
T42<Mister_Magister> good one20:54
T42<adampigg> mal: so, its safe to update libhybris and qt5-qpa-hwcomposer-plugin to latest tags for build in 5.0 ? (edited)20:54
T42<adampigg> you saw nothing20:54
T42<adampigg> except on irc where the edit wont work :D20:54
T42<Mister_Magister> yeah please don't edit20:55
mal@adampigg it's safe if you also update the hybris-hal side part of libhybris21:02
T42<adampigg> i dont have any of that on a halium port21:03
malthere might be some small performance improvements with the new changes, that qt5-qpa-hwcomposer-plugin enables slot-based cache support and libhybris also had some small improvements elsewhere21:03
mal@adampigg hmm, not sure how that works then21:04
malonly way to know is if you try21:04
T42<adampigg> yeah ... i may try it on my non-daily driver first :D21:04
mal@adampigg so halium doesn't use the hwc2 compat stuff?21:04
malwhat does it use then?21:04
T42<adampigg> @NotKit best answer the details like that ;)21:05
T42<adampigg> i have been having to use the force hwc2 param21:06
malyou can see changelog here https://github.com/mer-hybris/libhybris/commit/02f800e677d78f421ff991d54ac54949da3ec4d1 so quite a lot of stuff21:06
