Disclaimer: we are still far from “ready for being uploaded to vivid archive” state. That will happen only when Qt 5.4.1 packages are ready and all blocking bugs are fixed. Recent progress === * All the initial Qt 5.4 packaging was done by Timo Jyrinki. * qtwebsockets tests failure has been fixed, thanks to Helge Deller. * stellarium and qtserialport build failures have been fixed, thanks to Łukasz Zemczak. * some touch-related packages have been rebuilt against Qt 5.4 (Dmitry Shachnev, Łukasz Zemczak). * some Qt packages have been synced/merged from Debian experimental (Dmitry Shachnev). Known bugs == The full list of Qt 5.4 bugs is available at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=qt5.4. The most important bugs are: * qtbase tests failures * ubuntu-ui-toolkit tests failures * unity8 behaviour bugs There's no unity8 bugs in that list, right? I mean I fixed all the ones that Timo found. Or is that more of a this is the order in case of we find some bugs in those components list?

Re: Ubuntu Touch: Poppler or MuPDF as PDF renderer
On Friday 17 May 2013 15:40:56 Till Kamppeter wrote: Hi, Hi during my thoughts about the printing stack for Ubuntu Touch [1] I came to the conclusion that printing needs a PDF renderer to turn incoming PDF into the printer's language (PWG Raster, PostScript, PCL, ...) but a PDF renderer needs already to be on a mobile device to make it able to display PDF files on the screen. The Ubuntu desktop uses Poppler for screen display and Ghostscript for printing. On a mobile device this is overkill. We need only one PDF renderer and also no PostScript interpreter as for printing we expect all apps to send PDF. So Ghostscript is out of the question here as it is large and the PDF interpreter is written in PostScript. Poppler has the advantage of having a long history and so it should deal best with quirky files. MuPDF is written with lightweightness in mind, is the only free software which allows filling and saving PDF forms, Poppler supports filling and saving forms since a long time. Cheers, Albert and is written by the Ghostscript developers who are experts on the field of printing. So I want to call for testing the two (Poppler, MuPDF) and for discussion. We have also a Blueprint [2] and a Wiki page [3].
