For Charon 1.6.0 I decided to steal a great feature from Organic Maps: You can now zoom in and out easier by double-tapping and moving the finger up and down.
A full list of changes can be found in the release notes:

Did you know that Catacomb's window manager has built-in curling?
Just tile a window, switch to the overview, then try and land it in the target zone using touch velocity!
Catacomb's 1.4.0 release is out, with some minor QoL improvements:
- Double-tap on the gesture handle now turns the display off
- Better iio-sensor-proxy support
- Improved touch velocity with different output scales and input polling rates
Ich hatte ja kürzlich über Catacomb, dem schlanken Desktop für Linux Mobile, geschrieben: https://gnulinux.ch/alte-technik-neue-freude
Nun gibt es tolle neue Weiterentwicklungen. Der Browser Kumo bietet bald die Möglichkeit die Browser-Engine einfach umzuschalten, zwischen Servo und WebKIT. Das finde ich wirklich genial!
A little preview of the multi-engine behavior in Kumo:
To quickly try out a website in a different engine, you can just reload it in WebKit/Servo through the context menu.
Kumo will remember which engine was last used for a domain and use that engine for all new tabs for that domain going forward. That way if you're interested in a new browser engine, you can transition one website at a time, rather than requiring a complete browser change.
It seems like many things have improved in #servo since I've last checked it out. Performance isn't perfect, but it does still manage to reach 60-70 FPS while screen recording on a Fairphone 5 (~90 without).
Plenty of work left to do before I can ship it as an alternative engine, but I think this time it might make it upstream rather than sitting in a branch for another year.
