Kai Uwe plasma-browser-integration: * Compress and reduce MediaSession updates, please review: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-browser-integration/-/merge_requests/3 * This is in prepartion for being able to cache the album art locally PowerDevil: * Added smooth brightness change for sysfs, so most devices should get animated brightness change again * Triggers an issue in Battery Monitor's brightness slider handling where it doesn't always set the brightness chosen * Add charge threshold setting (e.g. for ThinkPads) * Please review https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/merge_requests/5 * Also needs some UX improvements for Battery Monitor since UPower isn't aware of the charge limit and thinks "charging 79%" when at 80% charge limit Solid: * Add imobiledevice backend for finding iOS devices, please review: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/solid/-/merge_requests/6 Other: * Wrote an AFC (Apple File Conduit) KIO slave for accessing iOS devices, please review: https://invent.kde.org/network/kio-extras/-/merge_requests/7 * Will write a patch for KFilePlacesModel to find those similar to MTP * Unfortunately, while Dolphin uses it, the URL handling is in Dolphin, so I fear there could be transient breakage where Dolphin thinks AFC device is MTP when mixing newer Frameworks with older Dolphin
Bhushan * We upgraded gitlab to Gitlab 13.0 last weekend, which includes the https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/design_management.html feature * So VDG can make use of it * Virtual sprint at end of this week \o/ : some more information at : https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2020-June/117530.html Nico * I did some work on the PlaMo dialer * Which means throwing out some old code and porting it to Kirigami.SwipeNavigator * Then I worked a bit on Koko, which suddenly got a lot of interest * And I started working on a redesigned Autostart KCM * For which I have a question: ** Is there a meaningful difference between the scripts in autostart-scripts and plasma-workspace/env ? [d_ed]: yes, they run at a different time, one gets executed as start -and-forget the other is blocked on execution with any changes to the env kept [nicofee]: hm, IMO we should either drop one from the UI or make that distinction more clear [d_ed]: the behaviour is needed still, but yeah, we could potentially drop the UI David E * I have a big patchset to do a systemd boot of plasma. The pre-requisite patches upstream have just landed into systemd * so all existing .dekstop files get a magic generator and everything "just works" * I should probably move it to gitlab and give it a rebase, but IMHO this patchset is now ready to go * it would still be opt-in for a while [fvogt] So essentially two entirely independent code paths for startup? [d_ed] yes and no, we've already broken everything down into lots of tiny parts and that's merged already * systemd startup replaces just the one executable "plasma-session" but shares the rest * So it's hopefully not too much burden. Especially given that we've cleaned up plasma-session a lot from the mess that was in ksmserver * I'll move it to gitlab so you all see the merge request and hopefully that will encourage some more people to give feedback * we should start porting onFoo to function onFoo() {} as we depend on 5.14 now Arjen * I've mostly been busy with the new KSysGuard UI * it can be found at https://invent.kde.org/ahiemstra/ksysguardqml * it makes use of the stats daemon and other bits that landed in 5.19 * specifically, I've been working on making it support custom page creation and editing * which now all seems to work, it still requires a bunch of polish * but this should be able to get into 5.20 Jonathan * release tomorrow, are we all ready? * and then do I need to do something to schedule a plasma 5.20 kickoff meeting at this virtual sprint? (after discussion agreed it was the good time) David R * Qt patch still not merged, distros will need to include it https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/300187 * I did https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/26 * Some nitpicks still but would be ready then I think if non one objects Aleix * I'm still working on the screencast business, it's getting there. Last is that I've noticed that there's some dmabuf file descriptors that don't get cleaned up and I can't find them, debugging this (as it makes kwin crash eventually) * but other than that it's running smoothly and will be ready to merge soon, would like to clean the MR to merge this week, want to have it all polished first though * but other than that it's running smoothly and will be ready to merge soon, would like to clean the MR to merge this week, want to have it all polished first though Marco a bit shorter week as tuesday was a national holiday # Plasma * fixed the issue of graph colors restore from config * ksysguardqml no longer shows checkboxes in menu where it shouldn't * restarting my ancient kdescendantproxymodel branch for collapsible trees * accessing to applet geometry via scripting https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/32 still open * from the above depends https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/21 to replace the kdeplasma-addons "systemloadviewer" # Kirigami * some experiments on transition animations with shaders * experiment (in a branch) for user resizable drawers, sidebars and maybe page columns
