It makes sense that there are binary compatibility issues if the D-pointer pattern is ignored 🙂
Could you give me an example where the private API is used?

Please give us an update on the improvements that have recently been merged into the armhf and arm64 root file systems, as well as those you expect to land in the immediate future.

Thanks,

Looking at all the issues, is there a process in place to decide which issues will be solved in which release, let's say prioritize them?
Gitlab has a nice board for this. It would help to focus efforts. There are for example many issue related to 2G/3G/4G, like 172, 152, 140, 120, 57. They could be all related.

Proposal for review 😉

  • tag all issues using predefined tags
  • organize the board to see which issues are solved per OTA release
  • voting system? (bug bounty). Which developer fixes which issues.

Maybe all of this is already in place, but I could not find it.

(it has worked well on my tests of it for armhf on the Meizu Pro 5.)

I can just answer for vcf:
The import vcf file is already there but only accessible from outside ( that is you select your file in filemanager and open it in contact-app).
I've managed to provide this feature directly from contact app. Hope it will land soon, just waiting for review

So, simply replacing the old Qt libraries with the new ones should not break anything. Is there any reason why only QtWebengine 5.14 is planned for OTA13? I would be happy to see the built-in markdown support from QtGUI 5.14 and QtQuick 5.14, as well.
Thank you for the answer.

This is the same project that Alfred has been following, bringing updates for whenever he's with us.

Maybe the project board of halium 9 can be filled with the major challenges https://github.com/orgs/ubports/projects/20

would it be possible to have an import/export csv or vcf file option inside the official Contact app?

I have managed to import my contacts as a csv file. The trick turned out to be to transfer the file by any method you like (I used Telegram/Teleports because hey, it's easy... just send it to yourself) and then locate it in the file manager, and open it. When asked for a program to open it with, choose the Contacts app.

Q1: is it a change in the halium side or in the UT side? ( I have seen contradictory news on various local sites about this)
Q2: I guess this will allow for faster ports on Treble compliant device, but will it also allow for improvements on the performance side?

about UT on rpi4

Q3 - Q4: are there any news about the tiling problem (the graphic problem afflicting rpi4)? why rpi4 is the only affected arm board?

ps: happy summer holidays for those who will do them!!

Also, would it be possible to have an import/export csv or vcf file option inside the official Contact app? Is that is easier/fatser to develop than carddav, it would offer one alternative to the current only way (by google that not everybody use...) to get our contact into our phone (apart from ssh/script/adb/...that aren't very user friendly).

Thank you for your work,
