Spent the morning looking how much work the move of #phosh to #gtk4 / #libadwaita will be and it turned out better than expected.
Needed to stub out some dependencies (libcall-ui, gcr, libgnome-desktop) and hack back support for custom wayland surfaces into #gtk4 but with that things start to work and we can go widget by widget:
Improvements for those of us who run #phosh daily on their #librem5:
- the media player allows to skip in songs/podcasts (by @ollieparanoid)
- headphones show a different icon
- music player gets muted on headphone unplug
…and thanks to #debconf's video team here's the talk on #debian on #mobile devices: https://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2021/MiniDebConf-Regensburg/debian-on-a-smart-phone-are-you-serious.lq.webm
#phosh's CI pipeline can now take screenshots of some parts of the shell in different languages and link to these as parts of a merge request. This hopefully helps translators, designers and develpers to figure out more easily how things look in different languages:
I gave a short talk about #debian on mobile devices at the #DebianMiniDebconf in Regensburg last weekend (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEvents/de/2021/MiniDebConfRegensburg#Saturday) and I could present the slides using a #librem5 with HDMI over usb-c connected to the presenter and phom (https://source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/phom) as a virtual mouse. Needed some hacks still to e.g. bring up #squeekboard to exit full screen but I think we can make this work out of the box in the future.
Two things around the corner for less flicker during boot in #phosh and #phoc (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/890, https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phoc/-/merge_requests/265)
Kudos to @francois for the #plymouth theme, @dos for plymouth crash fixing and @craftyguy for osk-sdl
phosh 0.13.1 is out 🚀 :
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.13.1
Feedback quick setting cycles through all modes, "Close all" notifications button, improved encrypted media handling and fractional scaling improvements.
It's been only three days since #phosh 0.13.0 but since then we already landed two usability improvements:
- A button to close all notifications
- A way to cycle through all feedback modes (on/quiet/silent) by Pablo Correa Gómez
and there's a bit more cooking for 0.13.1.
phosh 0.13.0 is out 🚀 :
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/tags/v0.13.0
Improved call handling when shell is locked, lockscreen notifications, high contrast theme support and much more. Check the release notes.
Notifications are coming to #phosh's lockscreen. Also in progress is different haptic/led feedback depending on the set notification category. The #phosh/#feedbackd side is mostly there and it works with #libnotify but needs changes in #glib to work with #GApplication too.
phosh 0.12.1 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.12.1
This mostly brings the bug fixes by @dos and yours truly into a release, updates translations and also no longer claims the accelerometer when automatic rotation is off (making iio-sensor-proxy sleep a lot more, helps 🔋) .
In order to handle incoming phone calls on #phosh's lock screen I initially started out with a copy of #calls's code since #calls and phosh need to act on different call objects.
But there was so much duplication so I moved the widgets (originally written by @rah and @KekunPlazas ) into #libcall-ui (meant to be used as a git submodule).
As of today it builds it's documentation using gi-docgen (https://www.bassi.io/articles/2021/03/17/more-documentation-changes/) at https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/libcall-ui/pages
#µPlayer now indicates whether the v4l stateless codec (and hence hardware acceleration) is in use next to the movie title:
My recent work on mouse and touch pad configuration (https://social.librem.one/@agx/106408337604589298) made it into #phoc 0.8.0 (https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/tags/v0.8.0) released by @dos yesterday. Also contained is the idle fix needed for #gtk4 apps (https://social.librem.one/@agx/106551704433480573)
phosh 0.12.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.12.0
New features:
- Only enable proximity sensor during calls
- Unblank screen on incoming calls
- encrypted volume mounts via org.Gtk.MountOperationHandler
- Show adaptive only apps in mobile mode (this is toggleable in the UI and configurable via GSetting)
This release needs either an #gtk3 or #glib patch. See release notes for the details for details, the full list of changes and contributors.
