Thanks for this newsletter! >We’ve packaged the KStatusNotifier extension to provide support for indicators. This will provide support for apps which use libappindicators which was removed from GNOME 3.26. So these bugs - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713551 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713555 - are fixed? For example on Ubuntu (new "Unity" shell) session I see both hp-systray and psensor indicators, but they are not shown on normal GNOME Shell.
>We’ve updated the test plan for the Ubuntu Session to ensure we catch regressions and bugs in the default session for new installs and upgrades.
