Gram 1.2.0 released

I suppose it is only fitting that after writing a post titled Go slow, and fix things I end up releasing two versions within a week. Rest assured, things are still going slow, and we are at least trying to fix things.

This release could probably have been called 1.1.1 without stretching the truth too much, but there were a couple of additions and not just bug fixes.

Downloads are available from Codeberg and hopefully soon via Homebrew/AUR/other channels.

New for this release is that there is a package repository available for Debian which should provide updates via apt update.

In this release I want to especially thank @nicoco who I should have mentioned last time but inexplicably left out. Thanks to @nicoco we have an XMPP chat available for Gram, the details for how to connect are on the website, as well as the new Debian repository and much more.

wgpu and Linux

This is probably going to be an ongoing saga for a while, but the patches included in this release should let the editor start on a couple more graphics card than 1.1.0.

I'll mention it here again but if you have problems, let me know - My only desktop Linux machine is a MNT Pocket Reform which kicks ass but is also not very representative of the typical hardware out there.

There is always the option of running with software emulation:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 gram --foreground

The rest of the fixes are listed below.
