    This release changes the ngl renderer to be the default renderer.
    
    The intent of this change is to get wider testing and verify that
    the new renderers are production-ready. If significant problems
    show up, we will revert this change for 4.14.
    
    You can still override the renderer choice using the GSK_RENDERER
    environment variable.
    
    Since ngl can handle fractional scaling much better than the old gl
    renderer, we allow fractional scaling by default with gl now. If you
    are using the old gl renderer (e.g. because your system is limited to
    GLES2), you can disable fractional scaling by setting the GDK_DEBUG
    environment variable to include the gl-no-fractional key.
    
    

    This is what I’ve found here

    This submitted article is far from a comprehensive changelog, and kinda glosses over some stuff, as you say.
