This missing piece (if any) in Mir is a 'mir_output_set_scale_factor' function, to match the existing 'mir_output_get_scale_factor'.

Although Unity8 is a server so might be able to skip that requirement and just modify the server structure directly.

Yes mir_output_set_scale_factor is needed, as the settings app needs an API to communicate the desired scale factor to unity8

      . mirclientplatform ABI unchanged at 5
      . mirinputplatform ABI unchanged at 6

    - Enhancements:
      . New/improved toolkit APIs: MirInputConfig and related functions,
        MirWindow and related functions, DisplayConfig and related functions,
        MirScreencastSpec and related functions,
      . Support for configuring input configuration
      . Introduce toolkit extension mechanism for platform specific APIs.
      . Toolkit extensions for: mesa_drm_auth, set_gbm_device and
        window_coordinate_translation
      . Screencasting to a specific MirBuffer.
      . Add DisplayConfigurationController::base_configuration() so downstreams
        can get the base configuration. (Weirdly they can already set it.).
      . x11 platform: allow adjustable scale parameter.
      . Added EDID support: client API, server logging and in mirout.
      . mirout: Add newer attributes only available in the new display
        config API: scaling factor, subpixel arrangement and form factor.
      . mirout: Log the orientation and logical size of each output too.

      . Add xkbcommon to mirclient.pc Requires.private.
      . Deprecate legacy toolkit APIs that will be removed in Mir 1.0
      . Introduced 'client-side vsync', which dramatically reduces latency
        from the client to the screen (particularly for nested servers like
        Unity8).
    - Bugs fixed:
      . [performance] Restore support for better-than-triple buffering by

Just re-tested this with latest Mir 0.26 and silo 2140 https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2140 with changes from system settings to add the scaling slider (uses mir api)

All of the app windows correctly scale. But the shell does not scale at all. Obviously we'd want windows and the shell to scale together.
