     Been trying to go through and set the new “Type” property for GitHub issues. In most repos, fewer than half of issues are bugs. Most open issues are feature requests. Across the entire org there are 4.9k open issues. So far I have a little over 200 of those confirmed as bugs. In several repos there are 0 open bug reports. Gonna keep categorizing to get a clearer picture of how many bugs there are and where they are and try to squash ‘em 🙂

     And a branch to open multitasking view if you click a workspace switcher item that you’re already on. Now it’s super easy to get a window spread for your current workspace with just the mouse. I’m so excited for when this ships. This whole thing is just coming together and feels like a massive productivity boost

     Last couple branches here for Quick Settings and AppCenter and then I think we can release OS 8.0.1. So even though I know I haven’t done a blog post in a minute here, I think it’s worth waiting just a little longer 😅

     Got my laptop set up again for dev so I can hack in bed and ice. I proposed some more GTK4 porting branches for Calendar and Terminal

     @davidmhewitt released a new version of our Flatpak platform, so we’ll be updating apps with that soon. Should mean a new version of Web with big performance improvements soon!

     By popular demand I’ve also submitted a few branches today to take steps towards porting the Bluetooth daemon to GTK 4. I have tabs open to check where we’re at with various other ports.

     I’m still having trouble sitting for extended periods, so I’m definitely less productive than usual but we’re still getting stuff done :)

     Just merged a branch into desktop settings to also set the `enable-animations` key that is respected by GTK and Adw.Animation, so for folks that use the Reduce Motion setting, this is a huge win and will disabled a ton more UI animations

     Did a branch to fix a bug in the new user list in quick settings. Once that’s merged I think we can release new quick settings.

     I also have an AppCenter release proposed with a number of fixes and the new filtered screenshots

     After that I think we can spin an iso build and make sure it has the new HWE and get this 8.0.1 release out

     “Why did the design change?” “How come no more minimize?” “Why can’t I reposition the dock?”

     • Glitchy Pixel

     Just merged some AppCenter branches from @glitchypixel. We now properly filter screenshots based on environment! So if developers provide Pantheon screenshots for their app, we show those instead of GNOME/KDE ones. And if they provide light/dark mode screenshots we show the right ones. Plus a couple bug fixes for release notes. Gonna see if there’s any other low hanging fruit here and prepare a release
