Unity8 & Mir Weekly Report
May 24, 2013
Current Team Theme
- Integrate Unity8 onto Mir
- Improve Unity8 testing
- Mir build out to support Unity8
- As always live action here
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1303-mir-phone-iteration-0
- and all the dependent blueprints
Acheived this week
- Unity8 on Mir
- broke out window management functionality into a seperate layer from the Unity8 shell, to become a seperate project
- instructions to recreate updated frequently here http://studio.sketchpad.cc/gmY0M6iqeh (note its pure development)
- still not landed due to coordination with some platform-api changes being landed
- Mir
- Began mulit client stress testing
- discovered a couple of race condition bugs with this, delivered fixes to continue
- delivered some composition refactoring to lay ground work for composition bypass
- iterated on stack depth for tracking z order and for shell to manage focus
- Unity8 UI
- landed qt based mock lightdm that can be used for test as well as demo
- Met with design to review current launcher & folding icon proto
- Continued investiation into Qt bug effecting memory use of listviewwithpageheader, working towards upstreamable solution
- Landed directional drag area for launcher (to better handle edge swipe)
- Few more tweaks to infographic/greeter staged to land
- reviewed with design on analog calendar design to use for indicator & delivered draft API doc per SDK team process
- some additional work in dev branch for snap decision notifications
- MP'd changes for i18n
Shooting for next week
- Mir
- continue work supporting Unity8-mir window management, clean up toward landing
- dependency on platform-api changes to land first
- continue effort on composition bypass
- first get bypass working, then focus on dynamic, then logic of turning off/on
- address stack depth focus support once Unity8-mir wm lands
- continue multiclient stress test towards CI, possibly start on low mem tests
- focus on simplifying install of mir as system compositor for free gfx driver based dektops
- Unity8 UI
- create some shaders for blurring lock screen of app underneath
- Continue shell-mir integration work
- Continue discussion w/ design on indicators
- followup on launcher, implement design feedback
- Land phablet greeter in lightdm flow (includes no-password or one-password login, user backgrounds, and demo infographics)
- work on directional drag area use by stage & panel/indicator
- continue investigation into mem use associated with listviewwithpageheader (LVWPH as you might see it in the bp's)
- greeter on mir integration (if we can land mir)
Risks and Issues
- ongoing changes from usability testing/design iterations, really need to lock down by june
