+# Hyprland software-rendering backport
+
+Automatic upstream version bumps are held (`sync: false`) while the packaged release carries [Hyprland #16343](https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/16343) as `software-renderer.patch`. `prepare()` applies that patch with `--fuzz=0`. Hyprland's `release_ring: fast` builds edge, rc, and stable from this recipe. Aquamarine changes in the official/ALARM repositories are checked by the separate six-hour `sync-rebuilds` job through `rebuild_on`, which proposes a package release bump for rebuilding.
+
+The hold does not require staying on v0.56.2 until #16343 lands. If a newer upstream release does not yet include the fix, update `pkgver`, rebase the patch and refresh its checksum, and test software rendering and accelerated rendering before publishing. Keep `sync: false` while the backport is needed.
+
+Remove `sync: false` and `software-renderer.patch` in the same change once the selected upstream release includes the #16343 behavior. Set `pkgver` to that release, then test software rendering and accelerated rendering before publishing.

+Subject: [PATCH] render: detect software rendering from the GL renderer (0.56.2 backport)
+
+Backport-of: 61d0ff60a7547d49229714a68b7ca9c0b6658727
+Backport-of: c3dcabc15ba7b71bd1bcd880e9f543909dd9372d
+Upstream-PR: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/16343
+Co-authored-by: Eryk Wieliczko <44800858+erykwieliczko@users.noreply.github.com>
+
+Adapt constructor and logger-context differences against v0.56.2 while
+preserving the GL classification behavior. v0.56.2 has no
+StringUtils.hpp, so the ASCII case-insensitive matcher lives as a
+file-local helper in GLRenderer.cpp. Remove this backport once the
+packaged upstream version includes this behavior.
