Partner update

Unity

• Latest round of unity updates before natty finale: 3.8.8 last Thursday and 3.8.10 today!
  • lot of crash fixes (ccsm still makes unity crashing under some circumstances though, but it's respawning, so can be a SRU)
  • some more intellihide false positive fixes
  • small bug fixes (hovering, theme priority)
  • updates of the assets: places/launcher icons (UIFe)
  • the bfb is now a button (UIFe)
  • translations fixes

We also won a non negligeable amount of time at startup in lazy loading the places daemon (only load on request), seems that zeitgeist and xapian database warmup were racing at start

• On compiz side, we had some cherry-pick compiz upload for more crash fixes, fullscreen stacking fixes and such.
• There is still a Xorg hang (reduced as compiz/unity doesn't grab the keyboard as often as before), but still prevent. It's in the Xorg's teams hand now.

For the full story, the usual links: https://launchpad.net/unity/3.0/3.8.8 and https://launchpad.net/unity/3.0/3.8.10

Software Center

• Released Software Center versions 3.1.26.3 through 3.1.26.7
  • Includes 24 bug fixes in total
    • Many crash fixes, including some high priority ones
    • Fixes for database issues
    • Many i18n fixes; currently no known open i18n issues remaining
    • etc.
• Bug fixing continues for final release

pitti   ooh, enjoy the rotation
pitti   they can certainly need some help from someone with a strong distro perspective!
pitti   Riddell: do you expect larger structural changes next cycle in Kubuntu, or will that be by and large a bug fix/maintenance release then?
Riddell pitti: a load of KDE source packages will be changing due to upstream moving to git
Riddell kdepim moves to akonadi fully
