There's a new scaling quick setting that allows to switch between different resolutions quickly (you can also notice that we smoothed out the mode transitions in phoc):

phoc now uses wlroots 0.18.2, we can now tweak the debug domains at runtime and both touch-point and damage-tracking debugging were fixed (they were broken since some time) and can also be dynamically enabled and disabled via DBus:
