[Marco Martin]

David R:
ksysguard
* update regex to be in line with spec
    https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libksysguard/-/merge_requests/49
* Port to sensors config ui instead of custom one
    https://invent.kde.org/ahiemstra/ksysguardqml/-/merge_requests/28
* bind more colors in system monitor widgets widget
    https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/168

Plasma
* fix a very common crash introduced by change in plasma-frameworks
    https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/merge_requests/55
* Finally gave in and hardcoed icons of some components that are
active in a default plasma sessions in shortcuts kcm that we cannot
retrieve otherwise
    https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/80Hardcode
icons for default plasma components
* fix new window cycling in taskmanager, broken because of comparing
modelindexes by identitiy
    https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/89

Other
* Draw quick controsl checkboxes entirely via qstlye
    https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/qqc2-desktop-style/-/merge_requests/17

Kai Uwe:
plasma-browser-integration:
 * Bugfix release 1.7.6 will be live soon \o/
 * Looked at implementing PWA application shortcuts (jump list action
capability for web apps) in Chromium
     * Unfortunately quite tied around Windows impl (which registers
them after installing)
     * whereas on Linux we need to change the desktop file that is
installed in the first place..
 * Did a proof of concept Firefox theme using Breeze color scheme
through p-b-i and update it at runtime
     * To fix unreadable inactive tab text when using CSDs
     * Unfortunately e.g. "enabled" back button uses hover color, so
it would light up blue constantly...
     * Also doesn't look like I can influence dark mode this way
 Notifications:
 * Got contacted by Telegram about some inline reply issue, but they
could resolve it on their side
 * Pinged the quick reply spec merge request again, still no progress there...
 PowerDevil:
 * Rewrote DimDisplay action
     * Dim once, at the configured time, not three times or so like it
currently does
     * Let keyboard always turn off even when screen is inhibited
         * imho it doesn't make sense to keep the keyboard on while
watching a video
         * but maybe it's better to have a dedicated "turn keyboard
off after [minutes]" action
         * since both DimDisplay and DPMS mess with keyboard brightness
 Solid:
 * Found mem leak at work, fixed it:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/solid/-/merge_requests/11

Nico:
Open:
* Redesign Plamo PIN screen to be more aligned with lockscreen. Still
some design/technical questions open
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-phone-components/-/merge_requests/80
* Add API to inhibit idle actions like screen locking to kidletime
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kidletime/-/merge_requests/3
Merged:
* Some CMake cleanup in kidletime
* Add margins to discover progress bar
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/18
* Fixed QML error in plasma-nano
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-nano/-/merge_requests/6
* Some cleanup in kdeconnect-sms
* Add media controls to PlaMo lock screen
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-phone-components/-/commit/7f4f10a994c78db3d4f36baae3d425303bcb37c1
Other:
* Investigated a Qt bug that may affect us:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55275
* The usual reviews/bug management

Harald:
* I made a s.m.a.r.t. monitoring system
https://invent.kde.org/sitter/plasma-disks to resolve
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=254313 and would love some input
on whether to glue that into kinfocenter or keep it a separate source
that integrates with kinfocenter (it's a kded mod + kcm + kauth
helper)

David E:
* I've fixed a big breakage with the system monitoring applets if the
devices change
* I've got a tonne of things on Qt review
* I've been trying to go through the QtWayland client bugs on gerrit a bit
* there's not a lot reported from KDE people (which I guess is good news?)
[discussion: sometimes is difficult to distinguish between client
qtwayland bug and kwin one, ke people may report omn kde bugzilla by
default]

Arjen:
* so I wrapped up the ActionToolBar work
* there's one issue I'm aware of where in ksysguardqml the vertical
center doesn't work for some reason, trying to fix that
* other than that I merged the new network plugin for ksysguard
* which has some fallout since it's done in the "new style", which
changes some sensor ids

Bhushan:
* so I have been mostly doing downstream-ish work
* but I would like review of :
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/powerdevil/-/merge_requests/13/ please

Marco:
# Plasma
* so far investigating some regressions that appear to be in plasma
mobile task manager from the kwin streaming things
* new systemmonitor applet sensor config page landed!
* would really like to get reviewed:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kitemmodels/-/merge_requests/2
# Kirigami
* Fix the ImagePalette color generator
# Plasma mobile
* further work on the homescreen
* a lot of work on the task manager, got a decent window switching
choreography with animations and all
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC3beILIPbc
* branch for pipewire thumbnail support
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt_76N81DuE
* on the videos, note that on manjaro all animation seems much
smoother, there is some weird difference in drvers/mesa/settings
