Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.vugt@canonical.com> no upstream, 50.1, commit:38553e497fca7b3fb02c3d7a79b7a5716fa2c027 2026-03-19
lightbox-Use-triangular-noise-shape-for-dithering.patch lightbox: Use triangular noise shape for dithering
Highest density at 0.0, dropping off towards ±1.0.

This makes the dithering noise slightly less noticeable in the dark
corners of the vignette effect.

The algorithm is taken from listing 1 of the Dithering section on
https://momentsingraphics.de/BlueNoise.html .

croco-Remove-set-but-unused-variables.patch croco: Remove set-but-unused variables
Theses variables are set, but never read. That's not very useful,
and gcc now warns about them by default (-Wunused-but-set-variable).
Florian Müllner <fmuellner@gnome.org> no upstream, 50.1, commit:1fd541ddc7fd0604d97ae7eea11840e130afc776 2026-03-19
shell-Remove-set-but-unused-variable.patch shell: Remove set-but-unused variable
The variable is set, but never read. Indeed, it does not exist
in the original Firefox code the method is based on.

Remove it to shut up a new gcc warning (-Wunused-but-set-variable).
Florian Müllner <fmuellner@gnome.org> no upstream, 50.1, commit:ecb7dcc5d67c33d2d5155ecfc32fc36a7e4cfa08 2026-03-20
shell-Fix-overcounting-of-misc.-symbols-for-password-stre.patch shell: Fix overcounting of misc. symbols for password strength
There was previously a branch for lowercase symbols that was removed.
Lowercase symbols should not count as miscellaneous symbols, which
increase the password strength.

Fixes ecb7dcc5d67c33d2d5155ecfc32fc36a7e4cfa08
DaPigGuy <mcpepig123@gmail.com> no upstream, 50.1, commit:b8dbf86a472a79579d28e48360184323ba66ca7a 2026-03-19
shell-app-Warn-instead-of-crashing-if-disposed-before-sta.patch shell/app: Warn instead of crashing if disposed before startup notification

This is currently easy to reproduce by launching and immediately closing
Chrome, then closing the shell. But automated crash reports show it can
also happen while using the shell, during a garbage collection run.

It's currently the top gnome-shell crasher in Ubuntu, and mostly with
Chromium/Electron apps. But regardless of the offender, we shouldn't
ever trust application behaviour to keep the shell alive.

debian/Revert-tests-Fail-on-warnings-too.patch Revert "tests: Fail on warnings too"
This reverts commit 207b9bb3c0a582b830218fd1b6e8760684adbc48.
Jeremy Bicha <jeremy.bicha@canonical.com> no 2023-02-17
debian/data-Add-im-config.desktop-to-System-folder.patch data: Add im-config.desktop to System folder
Debian installs this by default, but most users will only need to run
it once, or perhaps not at all.
Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org> not-needed 2025-06-10
