libcamera-v0.1.0 is now available.
https://git.libcamera.org/libcamera/libcamera.git/tag/?h=v0.1.0
This release brings in lots of updates to core, and pipeline support, and crucially takes the next step towards better integration for applications by moving to a new structure for soname updates. Now that we have ABI checks in place the soname will only be updated when we detect an ABI change to help applications continue to link against libcamera for longer.
@dylanvanassche @eliasr do you have a link here? I'm currently collecting links for countries / providers that allow to test emergency call routing.
@highvoltage gnome-text-editor is a different thing. gedit is still around.
If your device has a notch or cutout and you want #phosh to handle it automatically check https://phosh.mobi/posts/notch-support/ on how to describe the display properties.
If you want to prevent phosh from taking notches into account when laying out elements in the top bar use
gsettings set sm.puri.phosh shell-layout 'none'

Glad I have a Librem 5 phone with hardware kill switches - France Passes New Bill Allowing Police to Remotely Activate Cameras on Citizens' Phones
https://gizmodo.com/france-bill-allows-police-access-phones-camera-gps-1850609772 #purism #librem5 #privacy #security
@Phaserune @devrtz @purism see https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-dev-tools/-/blob/master/l5-fetch-next in l5-devscripts - note that this is intended for people who want to check MRs currently under review so you want to follow the MRs that are tracked too (see e.g. /usr/share/doc/phosh/changelog.Debian.gz) and e.g. https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh-next
We want that bit of extra care/time before releasing into byzantium (to all users). New packages are in #PureOS landing already.
You can always run phosh-next if you want new stuff sooner and help testing MRs (but need to be sure you know how to recover)
phosh 0.29.0 is out 🚀📱:
This release brings Improved audio device selection, notifications for ongoing calls, a new sensors panel (thanks @devrtz) suspend from system menu (thanks undef) and more!

This week marks 18 months since I have been using a #librem5 as a daily driver. The first few months were probably the roughest, but I have not needed to use Android at all in those 18 months.
Today, I actually find it quite useable! It just works as a phone, and I can do everything I used to do on my Android Phone on it.

This week I will be on a conference in Italy only using the #Librem5.
The last few weeks with the L5 gave me enough confidence that I think this should work.
Thanks to the lockscreen PDF plugin train and conference tickets are quickly accessible, all my email accounts from work I can access with Geary and the camera is good enough to take notes of some slides.
@eccentricShaft @kop316 Just to fight the disingenuous: I can fully subscribe to what Chris said there and can add games, giving talks using the phones usb-c output for DP, playing music not only with headphones but also car audio systems via BT (including song information in the cars dash), …
I wouldn't say we have still work to do but who hasn't? This might still be a niche compared to proprietary mobile OSes but there's plenty of people using phones like the #librem5 as daily drivers.
@awai @kop316 @marcellinusme Add to that the fact that many Android apps don't even bother to start when they hit a non-vendor Android claiming it has been "rooted". Same story when you want to run without google play services.

@kop316 @marcellinusme Also an important point to some of us: AOSP is open-source, but its development is quite locked down, and only serves Google's interests... Working on a Linux-based distro gives developers more leverage to contribute and shape the ecosystem in a way that benefits the community, rather than one single company

While at that I put notifications and media player widget into the same
scrolled window and have that use more vertical space so things are (hopefully) less clumsy to use.

While one could get back to an ongoing call on #phosh's lockscreen by swiping
to the right it wasn't clear if there was still a call ongoing. This will be
improved by showing a notification on the lockscreen making it hard to miss (and which we can likely also use to switch between calls once the calls app supports it):
