-------------- next part --------------
d_ed:
* We accidentally merged a patch into Plasma 5.8 that needed a newer Qt; it's in the QML part, so no-one noticed. Worst it's in the QtQml import which is included implicitly and therefore doesn't have a version number; I have a fix that I've just tested, will put on phab, then spin a 5.8.7.1   If Riddell is around that'd be good
* Qt made a change between 5.9RC and 5.9   that led to a crash on Plasma startup; the change was that QQuickWindow::createTextureFromImage(someNullImage)   now returned a nullptr instead of  a QSGTexture with no texture

Sho:
* [TM] Fixed a libtm crash on master when something touches taskmanagerrulesrc (e.g. make install)
* [General] Implemented the panel icon size ceiling in the Kickoff, Activities, Bluedevil, applets
** Wrote a prototype patch for Input Method Panel as well but it had some issues due to code I didn't quite manage to dig through; ultimately superseded by a better patch by maintainer Weng Xuetian
** This is a big improvement for 5.10 but we need to revisit it for 5.11 - let's find a way that doesn't involve patching everything and is somehow still compatible with the compact/full repr switching inside panels. We need to manage content size and layout hints independently somehow and check things against switchWidth/switchHeight
* [FV] Got some work on the way for making icons appear at drop position when dnd'ing something to the desktop
* [Other] Fixed a Konvi bug causing Identity order to be jumbled, had serious consequences like knocking the Default Identity out of the first index of the Identity list, where it needs to be to actually serve as default
* [Other] Holiday on Thursday

notmart:
* some pixel perfectness for systemsettings
* layout fixes in systemsettings to be pixel perfect at different dpi
* another crash fix in multiscreen (happening only on boot, not even login, just boot)
* bugfix in the colors kcm
* krunner positioning fixes under wayland
* minimize Plasma::dialog repositions, making plasma tooltips smoother, now actual tooltips on wayland, their z-order and morphing works again
* tweaking of plasmoids resizing mode
* refine of the patch for popup menus shadows on wayland https://phabricator.kde.org/D5910
Diff 5910 "make shadows work on wayland" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D5910
* investigation/fixes for windows not being fullscreen on wayland https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61060
* potential fix for most popup menus misplacements: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/195704/

- [Halium] That magically fixed 100 other issues like gps, ofono/rild, wifi, sensors etc
- [Halium] Working on fixing and investigating more issues with libhybris tests this week also
- [Halium] Will also work on creating PoC plasma mobile image based on halium
- [Powerdevil] Started refactoring brightness code this weekend, half part is done, now code is more sane, code in bshah/brightness branch of powerdevil
- [Powerdevil] Please test my branch if you are using wayland
- [Powerdevil] Along the way also added support for animated brightness change on sysfs brightness backend

kbroulik:
* LiMux poked me about Bug 379994 which from what I can tell is not really in our realms but still quite an issue for them.. maybe we can figure something out?
  (KDE bug 379994 in plasmashell (Folder) "KDE freeze for 2-3 Minutes due to network disconnect while cifs mount")
