 Other:

David:
* I merged a patch that gives correct colours to breeze-gtk \o/
* I'd like to get D20890 in, which will allow you to lock a screen on X with a 
kwin effect active
    Diff 20890 "Close screen grabbing effect when screensaver starts" [Needs 
Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D20890
* I'll be deferring my libkworkspace2 till the next Plasma but will try to 
upload everything ready to review this week, all the code is there

Vlad:
Plan to do:
* Merge my axis discrete patches this week.
Ready for review:
* The first patch fixes unexpected roaming of internal clients between layers, 
see https://phabricator.kde.org/D21116 "Keep internal clients in the unmanaged 
layer" 
* The second patch fixes unexpected shrinkage of clients that have been moved 
between screens, see https://phabricator.kde.org/D20987 "Compute correct 
boundaries in checkWorkspacePosition"
TODO:
* Go through some bug reports, see what I can fix.

Roman:
* As a headsup after beta tagging I want to merge D13284 and series at D21110 
into master.
    Diff 13284 "[decorations] Let KDecoration plugins recommend a border size 
per default" [Accepted] https://phabricator.kde.org/D13284
    Diff 21110 "On config read adjust outputs positions to global value 
changes" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D21110
* there is D20186 which I'm not sure should go into upcoming release since 
beta release is imminent
    Diff 20186 "[libinput-touchpad-kcm] Use wayland specific touchpad KCM UI 
when libinput is used on X11" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/
D20186
* Besides I'm currently working on some ftrace capability in KWin (and X) for 
profiling and to use with something like https://github.com/mikesart/gpuvis 
This should make debussing performance issues in kwin much easier

Marco:
Kirigami:
* Started a branch for "pinning" pages in the PageRow: so that one page can 
become a left or right sidebar if needed
Plasma:
* Containment Applets layout c++ rewrite
** finished the layouting code: seems to work slightly better than the current 
desktop/folderview containment
** resizeing applets now respects the layouting as well (current desktop 
applets layouting code doesn't)
** done the event handling to move via long press
** added resize handles: they know if they were invoked via a press or a 
touch, so they can adjust their size/look accordingly
Todo:
* investigate some lnf packages not installing correctly from ghns (knsrc 
files moved)
* investigate the recent kirigami crash
