In that line also add a system theme option to kcolorschememanager which is
not landed yet but should be good to go

⚙ D25877 [KColorschemeManager] Add option to reenable following global theme

Also api.kde.org now displays the fully quallified class name as header
instead of the framework name.
If you are using it like me while developing I think it's a massive
improvement for usability

## kbroulik

* Uploaded it to Opera store
plasma-browser-integration:
* Their review process is ridiculous, so if they reject the version I
uploaded just now, I'll drop support for Opera
* Can now register downloads as recent documents

Notifications:
* Did a proof of concept patch for bringing to the front the application
that sent a notification
* In case it doesn't set a default action (hello, Thunderbird)
    * https://invent.kde.org/snippets/653
* Fixed application filter in KCM going all bonkers
* Fixed regression breaking "show n more" feature (breakage was master-only
luckily)
* DrKonqi notifications are no longer in history as it creates an SNI anyway
* Merged quick reply feature, no apps use it yet, and no KNotification API
available yet
* There's now an "Other applications" category for non-identifyable
applications
Plasma:
* KRunner KCM is now marked dirty when changing settings of a runner plugin
* Fixed crash in Pager when dragging file and waiting for it to switch
desktops
* Battery monitor no longer blinks when critical
* Only wastes energy when you're running out of it... wanted to remove it
forever
* Some minor optimizations in task manager app icon pixmap handling
* Fixed matching Chrome MPRIS to its window task anymore
    * PulseAudio stream is now owned by tab process which is different from
the window-owning process
* Rewrote KDED KCM in QML, please review D26506

⚙ D25984 Load translations
* pkpass (Apple Wallet files, e.g. boarding passes), aup (Audacity
project), lnk (windows link file now uses link paradigm rather than
"money"), xhtml (made it a purple HTML icon instead of XML icon)

xcursor file reading)

## arjen hiemstra
there's a bunch of stuff from before new year that I did, like the circular
notification timeout and job progress

more recently there's https://phabricator.kde.org/D26279 that fixes a bug
in kirigami with the overflow menu
⚙ D26279 ActionToolBar: Only show the overflow button if there are visible
items in the menu

I also created a patch last week related to scrollbars in qqc2 style

## d__ed

So in terms of stuff I've done:
-I've progressed with Kwin using QtQuick more, including porting all of
EffectFrame
-that needs some testers
-One thing I want to discuss is we're seeing some issues with Qt5.14.0 and
fonts
-I thought we'd got everything all working properly but we're getting
numerous reports, mostly stemming from the somewhat random high dpi env
variables
-we need to keep an eye on this - there's a pending horrible patch in
Qt5.14.1 that means it won't load xrdb font DPI , which is going to break
plasmashell terrible

-I have a concern with the feedback KCM, the loading is currently broken,
there's a patch that fixes that on review in frameworks
-the telemetry stuff is something that needs to be spot-on on release,
otherwise we'll get a lot of bad reputation that we'll never clear
-set it, close it, open it

## jriddell

it's 5.18 beta on Thursday!
I'll be writing the release announce today and probably pinging you when I
have questions
-are we ready for 5.18 beta?
-d_ed: I guess we have to be
-that's the spirit!
