General status

  • New weekly upload, this time for the FF, so earlier in the week
  • Unity 4.8.0 landed on time
    • with new lenses views, supported by the new API and shared library changes
    • with the BFB reshuffle
    • with window spread support in ALT-Tab
    • and some extra blur (the fallback trigger still needs tuning)
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+milestone/4.8.0

  • Unity-QT followed on its heels
    • with mostly the same new lenses, but slightly behind, being a bit short-staffed (fixed now)
  • Compiz-0.9.5.90 released as well, albeit after the official FF to scatter releases for didrock's own sanity
    • test packages available in launchpad.net/~dbarth/+archive/ppa
    • fixes decorator performance issues
    • test plan at at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/QA/CompizReleaseProcess with additional elements concerning the decorator being tracked in parallel

    • we may request a FFE if the test results supports the request; otherwise will fallback to the previous version
    • gsettings has been dropped from the scope of O, in agreement with Platform
  • Indicators: a significant update of the system indicators was delivered, in particular in the session menu
  • UTouch: delivered the last work item on time as well
    • Both eog and evince can now benefit from the utouch stack goodness: hurra!
  • CJK issue
    • Testing continued with OEM, no feedback from the call for testing on u-devel though
    • Work on ibus progressing according to expectations; which should have test branches next week, and on track for a solid fix before Beta 1
