2014-05-02 Back to work after dancing merrily round a Maypole this weeks bumper update is a day late.
== General Updates == We've been working hard this week to reduce the number of outstanding aged merge requests, and improve velocity of incoming merge requests. We bumped the minimum framework for the core apps from "ubuntu-sdk-13.10" to "ubuntu-sdk-14.04-qml-dev1". The impact of this is anyone running an Ubuntu Touch 13.10 (Saucy) image on their device will no longer get core app updates from the store as all future uploads will depend on the 14.04 (or above) framework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315318 - App uses old framework == Getting Involved == We have a number of bugs in core apps, features that need implementing and outstanding merge requests for review. As always we welcome new contributors and code contributions. If any community developers would like to get involved please join us in #ubuntu-app-devel, or drop me an email. We can get you bootstrapped quickly and find some fun things to hack on in no time! :) == Reminders == Reminders developers are implementing the new designs for the app We've put the wheels in motion to add Reminders as a pre-installed app on the device, which should appear on an upcoming image soon. Once in the default image we'll be calling for more widespread testing than the app is currently getting. Reminders is a network dependent application so some additional work has gone in this week to ensure we cater better for network error conditions. * https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/reminders-app/no-network/+merge/217820 * https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/reminders-app/loading-property/+merge/217792 * https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/reminders-app/loading-errors/+merge/217835 Leo has also been working on improving the test coverage, a requirement of the app being in the default image. * https://code.launchpad.net/~elopio/reminders-app/test_go_to_accounts2/+merge/214163 == Music == The Music developers have been working on the migration of Music from mediascanner to mediascanner2 They've also been co-ordinating the migration from an unconfined app to confinement which will come with the migration to media-hub. Andrew added the ability to play all tracks for a given artist lp:~andrew-hayzen/music-app/add-artist-play-all * A slew of bug fixes this week https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290814 - Update app to build .pot translation file as part of CMake https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310161 - Expanding an item and then tapping it to play causes queue to be disorganized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1292044 - AP Tests mangle /home when run on phablet devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314262 - When app loads, toolbar disappears before it can be tapped https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314515 - "Tap play or any item" makes no sense when there is "No music found" == Calendar == We have a few outstanding merge requests for Calendar which are on the hit-list to get completed soon, ideally this week.
