Caveats
- Builds for Linux (x64 / ARM64) and macOS (x64) will be released in a future update.
- HTML5 Video / Audio is disabled in this build (we’re currently rewriting the GStreamer integration).
- The GPU renderer is still in progress (clipping issues), AppCore always uses the CPU renderer in this build.
- This build does not have the allocator overrides (Allocator API) or HTML5 Video/Audio enabled.
- Remote inspector is not yet enabled.
- CSS
backdrop-filteris only available when using the CPU renderer with experimental compositor enabled (seeViewConfigto enable it)
