Partner update

UbuntuOne

  • rhythmbox-ubuntuone has landed, again Smile :)

  • video lens should be ready for the archive real soon.

DX Systems

  • Working on getting some releases for the indicators

Unity

  • Unity 5.2 is out after 3 days of testing. We spotted a boot time issue and it was fixed before released. Well done all testers! (http://blog.didrocks.fr/post/Unity-5.2-is-now-released%21). More precisely, we got multimonitor support with screen edge detection, "push to reveal" launcher behavior to avoid false positive when hitting the back button of firefox, per workspace alt-tab switcher, new home dash, automaximize only on netbooks and a lot of small details that matter. List of bug fixes: https://launchpad.net/unity/5.0/5.2.0

  • We spot a last important issue that we can deal in our fork of checkbox for making RC testing more pleasant (ensuring that you have a progress on how many remaining tests we have), we will deal with it before next test period (next week).
  • Unfortunately, still no compiz ready. Seems there is a regression on ATI card. the ps integration team is the stackholder for handling a pre-testing update. I gave quite some extensive help on the packaging side to speed up their work.
  • The zeitgeist stack is slowly updated.
  • gnome-control-center with updated design for unity settings is ready. Will be uploaded today, once a new upload for unity with new default settings (like no more intellihide and default being the locked launcher) is built. Those settings affect by design as well people upgrading.
  • gnome-activity-journal (zeitgeist private handler) with gnome-control-center integration had its first released with the vala rewrite. Packaging updated, it will be soon uploaded and then, MIRed.
  • The autobuild system that is deployed for unity and now ubuntu-desktop is starting to get deployed to other projects inside product stategy as well. Great Smile :)
