Subscribed release-team to ask for a Feature Freeze Exception. Rationnal: Natty is going to introduce Unity. I think that adding support of the Launcher entry count in an application like Liferea which has a significant number of users, is good to promote Unity. Anyway, it is definitively not a critical or major feature addition, more a 'nice to have' one.
The feature implementation can be retrieved from: lp:~jfi/liferea/fix-for-bug-732848 . It has been reviewed and approved by Ken VanDine. The diff can be retrieved from: https://code.launchpad.net/~jfi/liferea/fix-for-bug-732848/+merge/53010/+preview-diff/+files/preview.diff The package is compiling and installing in a clean way without issues. You can see the log or/and test the packaging from my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~jfi/+archive/liferea/+packages. AFAIK, the changes does not introduce any regression, bug or issues or break packages which depends on it. Note, that the binary packages has a new dependence to Unity packages. Because of the small changes in term of code, I believe that the risk of regression should be considered as low. I have successfully tested the changes during few days with Unity 2D and checked that it also works correctly with the 'Classic Desktop'. Note, that I did not test with 3D version of Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732848 Title: Feature request: add unread items count in the Unity Launcher entry -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
