I was just cleaning up my inbox and found this and remembered I wanted
to say something.

It may not be fully worth your while trying to merge into later Emacs
26 and Emacs 27 releases because we changed the way it draws to the
screen to try and work around some deprecations in macOS 10.14.

Most of those changes have been undone in the master branch and
another approach used which is more like how drawing was done in Emacs
25.

It may not actually matter to you, as I suspect you're probably not
changing that much about how things are drawn, but I don't want you to
waste your time trying to get things working with the Emacs 26/27 drawing
path only to have to undo it for Emacs 28.
