Hi all, Update from last week.
Much of this week was spent testing apps in landscape mode on Nexus 10 (manta) and Nexus 7 (flo). Nexus 7 found especially problematic in landscape due to the vertical space being less than that on our initial target device - Nexus 4. Some apps need a little redesign to work when when ran on these form factors. On the positive side this was a great way for us to throw some of the convergence ideas around and resolve those issues. Kunal is working on much needed performance improvements to Calendar after some simple profiling in QtCreator. I'd recommend all Core Apps developers to profile all aspects of their applications as there are some things to learn and real gains to be made here. Many apps received a new icon - not all have landed in store yet, but all are in-flight. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281781 We also had a not insignificant amount of pain from moving to cmake. Mising icons, missing plugins, plain broken apps. Lessons have been learned! One ongoing alarms issue with EDS has prevented Clock and Calendar updates from landing. == Reminders == * Lots of work to get Reminders working well on a tablet / landscape interface. Iterated through a few options but ultimately identified a gap in the SDK where multi-pane apps are concerned. Worked around for now so as to deliver a robust experience for MWC demos. Further work required to make better use of space. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1281604 - "Add a workaround to get back to the home view" * Implement sorting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279779 - "Reminders tab needs sorting by date and time" * Allow attaching of images to notes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277557 - "Adding images with the content hub does not work" * Font Improvements https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1273111 - "Font size in notes must be bigger" == Music == * Added search functionality! https://bugs.launchpad.net/music-app/+bug/1269037 - "Provide search functionality" * Fix issues caused by the cmake transition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1284025 - "Music app 356 on mako image 206 doesn't play music launched from dash 1st time" * Bug fixes resulting from testing on Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 == Calendar == * Added reminder support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240539 - "Reminder doesn't work" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1270241 - "Add the ability to set the reminder time" * Removed the sidestage hint so calendar now runs in main stage on Nexus 7/10 * We had an issue * Performance improvements to year view underway after profiling == Clock == * Alarms have landed! * Some bugs found in Alarms functionality ;) * Additonal autopilot tests. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1188809 - "Autopilot Testcase needed: Add alarm" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1188810 - "Autopilot Testcase needed: Remove alarms" * UI improvements * Performance improvments under idle conditions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1199073 - "clock app on galaxy nexus generates ~2500 context switches a second" * First cut at converged view of clock https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1174575 - "Clock app does not adapt well to landscape view" == Weather == * Finally landed The Weather Channel backend! * Went through many iterations of testing working on implementing community designed converged view for tablets, which landed in time or MWC == Terminal == * Finally fixed the long standing bug thanks to dandrader, vthompson and sil2100! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1257791 "Enter and backspace broken in terminal * Moved settings from tab to panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1257871 - "Settings should be an icon on the toolbar instead of a tab" == RSS Reader == * Updated converged grid view for tablets * App renamed to "Shorts" == File Manager == * Add desktop oriented features https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195042 "Add ability to open multiple tabs" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255643 "Allow bookmarks/places bar to be collapsed" * Remove deprecated properties https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1275061 "ListItems.Standard.icon and ListItems.Base.icon are deprecated" Cheers, -- Alan Pope Engineering Manager Canonical - Product Strategy +44 (0) 7973 620 164 alan.p...@canonical.com http://ubuntu.com/ -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
