Hi all, We're planning to remove 3D mode from GNOME Chess in 3.14. We want Chess to provide an excellent user experience, but it frankly only does when played in 2D mode, which looks great. If we don't remove 3D mode, then it needs to be ported from GLX to EGL prior to 3.14 in order to run naively under Wayland, which is not something we're currently planning to work on. The severe performance issues with smooth mode would need to be addressed (or smooth mode could be removed). I also see limited value in retaining 3D mode unless it receives attention from a graphics artist. Additionally, there are currently severe flickering issues caused by the recent double-buffering changes in GTK+, but that change might be reverted so we may not have to worry about it. In short, 3D mode requires work far outside our expertise that we're currently not planning to do. I expect most users will be fine with this, but if you're a fan of 3D mode, it'd be good to hear from you. Michael
