GNOME Shell 50.1 and Mutter 50.1 have been released as the first point releases in the GNOME 50 series. The key fix in Mutter 50.1 addresses a performance regression affecting users of certain NVIDIA graphics driver versions, specifically stuttering issues with the NVIDIA R595 driver introduced in GNOME 50. A revert of a patch that removed META_DEADLINE_TIMER_STATE_INHIBITED usage resolves the problem. Additionally, a potential freeze and deadlock issue with NVIDIA graphics has been fixed. Other fixes include Pango scale attribute handling, moving minimized maximized windows across monitors, reduced buffer usage for screencast streams, and more. GNOME Shell 50.1 brings improvements to the on-screen keyboard on small screens, network agent on the lock screen, captive portal zoom support, and a memory leak fix.
