Just a heads up, this is vibe-coded, has agents and claude files. The commits are full of feat(ai) commit messages. The Website also has the generic AI generated website look these usually have.

Metal accelerated renderer for SwiftTerm is out!
It took five different attempts, in the end, I based SwiftTerm's implementation on Ghostty's GPU support - lots of really nice small touches in there.
Get it while it is hot:

The 0.12 version will allow Neovim to be built without Unibilium (terminfo implementation). If missing, only internal definitions for the most common terminals are used.
Less build time dependency -> support for more platforms is possible.

I have ported X11 to Redox OS in order to start working on ports that have previously been too difficult. In the future, we will be rebuilding these with wayland. Here is TWM with gtk3-demo open on the left, the embedded GL example on the right, and xterm behind.
