 On a personal note, I got sick.

you find any bugs / strange behavior pls tell me.
  (15519 still has a failing unit test)
 * Will be at QtWS this week

David:
* finally merged my kwin patchset that replaces libkwineffect window calling 
QObject::property() with virtual methods (a bit more efficient, a lot of 
boilerplate had to be ported)
* (ongoing) ported hwcomposer's backend to the new AbstractOutput that Roman 
did, mostly to make the changes bshah wants a bit simpler

Marco:
* was a week mostly hunting visual glitches and papercuts

Kirigami:
* Scrollable pages default their contents to pixel-aligned

* All scrollviews default their contents to pixel-aligned
* finally corners of textfields and bigger views properly rounded in desktop 
QQC2, white corner pixels gone (were noticeable expecially with bigger scale 
factors)
* fixed sizing of the Menu item, Plasma style menu on feature parity
* Comboboxes work as the qwidget ones: open on press, hovering the pressed 
mouse and releasing on an item triggers it.
* touchscreen text selection controls in editable comboboxes as well.
* sizing of text fields in desktop qqc2

Plasma:
* KWin and virtualdesktops: some fixes in the dbus protocol and loading names 
from config: D17265
* hardmonized look of all config dialogs (qml and qwidgets) and systemsettings 
kcm titles (qml and qwidgets) and ported some pieces of plasma to qqc2 and 
kirigami:
