It has been pointed out to me that libunity is available on fedora (oops), so I enabled the libunity support in the following elementary packages for stable and nightly builds: * appcenter * pantheon-files * pantheon-photos * slingshot-launcher * switchboard

I am proud to announce the availability of kentauros 0.9.15, which fixes a crasher due to an unhandled Exception in case the network is unreachable during a routine connection test (see the Release Notes on GitHub). An updated package for fedora is already available through my COPR repository.

This week has been somewhat quiet - there have been only 2 new stable releases (listed below) and I am still waiting for input on my "granite" package review for fedora. Stable Changelog * switchboard-plug-pantheon-shell (2016-12-12: 0.2.3 -> 0.2.4): * bug fixes (LP:1442021, LP:

A backported fix for the vala bug preventing switchboard-plug-networking from building has been added to f25 and has reached the f25 and f26 repositories. A rebuild of NetworkManager has reached f25/stable and f26, and switchboard-plug-networking builds again (see changelog below for details). Stable Changelog Some stable updates were released

Just like any other week, some elementary applications released new versions, fixing bugs and introducing some cool new features (read more about that on the elementaryOS blog). And, as usual, all updates are readily available for users of my COPR repository for fedora 25, too! Notable New Features The update

The bug in vala <= 0.34.3 and <= 0.35.1, which for some cases caused incorrect .vapi files to be generated during builds (RHBZ#1398738), has been fixed and backported to f25/f26. As soon as the package hits the stable repositories, all that's missing

Finally, for most* (see below) packages that are available in the elementary-stable COPR repository, nightly builds builds of their respective trunk / master branches are now available in the elementary-nightly COPR repository, too. As those builds really are nightly builds (well, in fact, hourly, as long as my PC is running)

Just in time for the general release of fedora 25 next week (2016-11-22, see the official Schedule) the Pantheon session works again, after the following changes landed recently: * Support for libmutter-3.22 has been merged into the gala trunk branch and is present in the stable and nightly repositories now.

Just as a quick follow-up, the eats-kittens branch of gala has been merged into bzr trunk as of revision 546, and I switched both stable and nightly builds to track the trunk bzr branch again. So, gala should work fine on fedora 24 and fedora 25 now - without having

I have uploaded a new build of gala to the elementary-nightly repository (built from ricotz' eats-kittens branch - which prepares support for libmutter-3.22), which fixes the crash that happened with older gala packages. So, basically, the good news is: The "Pantheon" session works again on fedora
