[discussion about problems in wayland wrt wacom tablets, may need more
discussion with hanyoung and tyson tan]

David E
* We're seeing the usual mass of bugs come in after a .0 release
* so we need to be more on top of that
* I approved a bunch of things wrt fingerprints
* There's some good stuff from Devin
* and I'll merge my kscreenlocker side
* it's currently "blocked" on letting someone merge their patch for
custom prompts
* and then I'll land the fingerprint stuff on top

[David Redondo  We broke plasmashell dbus api. d_ed I saw the mrs]

* Fixed a relevant KCM bug
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1123
* I also added API to use it from an app:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kguiaddons/-/merge_requests/27
* On the PlaMo side I finally merged the ModemManager port of Spacebar
And started working on fixing all the things
Something that came out of that is

Arjen
* I've been doing some work on touch support for plasma
* I did a few MRs to set Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText on text fields that
are used as search fields, without it the virtual keyboard will only
cause the textEdited/textChanged signals to be fired on enter, which
means things like krunner don't work properly with virtual keyboard
* I wrote a kirigami MR to detect whether an input method/virtual
keyboard is active
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kirigami/-/merge_requests/398
* but it's a bit stuck as the kwin api basically is insufficient
* that said, the only property Qt.inputMethod has that is the same is
the "visible" property
* it doesn't have any information about whether an input method is
enabled or what kind of input method is being used
* the end goal of this was to prevent system settings from focusing
the search field on startup when started with touch and a virtual
keyboard is active
* and be able to do the same in other places
* last thing I'm working on is porting the plasma widget explorer away
from DragArea so that it becomes easier to change the behaviour
between mouse and touch
* I have a draft mr
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/630
* it works great with mouse
* but touch only works sporadically
* so far we figured out that drags are started properly, but then kwin
doesn't seem to properly update the drags on touch motion
[d_ed i can believe it's an untested area]

Kai Uwe
* not much from my side
* just that p-b-i got kicked out of Mozilla store last Monday
* fvogt did a fix and d_ed will upload it … thanks for that!

Marco
i started to port some of the code of the plasma6 prototype wrt applet
loading i did to plasma5, as at akademy we talked about the
possibility to have the api we liked more in plasma5alsready, so some
plamoid could be ported in any moment..
