Hey,

Nice way to end the week again, we promoted an image today. #132 is the 
latest and greatest since image #121 and now the current trusty Touch 
image. It contains the changes mostly summed up in the previous emails 
throughout the week and is normally regression-free.

The test results are equivalent (and were rerun locally), meaning some 
flaky tests on maguro and mako passing, but some known crashers: the 
unity8 crasher on stop due to greeter lockup and a keyboard (maliit 
crasher) with an incoming fix.

Meanwhile, we released noticeable changes  in the incoming image #134:
* nested Mir session mode
* fix for DTMF tones which were not correcly being sent (that was an 
issue with automatic phone answer recognizing number sounds)
* enhancements in messaging-app: when text messages are sent a spinner 
is shown while sending then a timestamp in the message after success
* mediaplayer-app gains some initial desktop mode support
* update to the latest mediascanner scope API
* new system-settings, using the new release process
* set target on indicator-messages
* a lot of build failure fixes since last trusty rebuild


*notes_app* (Bill):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/112:20140105:20131223.2/5882/notes-app-autopilot/638428/ 

-> This one seems to need some more information to understand what 
happens (the toolbar is not closing). The CI team is asked if they can 
help providing some video for it.

*weather-app* (Nicholas):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/109:20140103.1:20131223.2/5859/ubuntu-weather-app-autopilot/ 

-> Networking failure. This is changing to TWC api, and yes, there will 
need to be some mocking. This is WIP by development team. A big rollover 
to the new API will be landing soon.

*unity-keyboard/maliit crash* (Kevin/Bill):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/114:20140106:20131223.2/5905/ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot/ 

Refailed today. A fix is in ubuntu-keyboard but we were asked to hold on 
on the release for now. So we hold on our breath and will release as 
soon as possible.
We think that this crash on mako on image #133 of webbrowser-app is the 
same cause.

*clock-app *(Nicholas):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/114:20140106:20131223.2/5905/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/ 

-> From Nicholas: "No luck in reproducing yet. -- the emulator won't run 
clock atm, investigating. Xnox, I see you seem to have results 
(passing), but I've only gotten crashes."
-> this one refailed today on mako (on test_run_preset which is calling 
test_add_preset): 
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/133:20140117:20140115.1/6118/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/677464/

Nicholas told: (quoting)
Found several probable causes for these failures. Seems to be a 
combination of the bug below on MIR, and a potential UITK issue with tab 
switching.

Probable MIR bug:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/130:20140115.1:20140115.1/6087/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/671736/
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/126:20140113.1:20140107.1/6050/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/664258/
Tab switching:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/114:20140106:20131223.2/5905/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/642628/
Today's run contains an actual test failure possibility, looking into
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/131:20140116:20140115.1/6095/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/673039/

*calendar-app* (Nicholas):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/114:20140106:20131223.2/5905/calendar-app-autopilot/ 

-> Sergio is going to release a fix as we speak

*dialer_app* crash (Bill):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/114:20140106:20131223.2/5903/dialer-app-autopilot/ 

-> The team is looking into it (doesn't seem to happen on the emulator 
though)

*terminal app* (Nicholas):
We had this regression last month, it's on the list as well for blocking 
new terminal app release (keyboard not working with it): 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1257791
-> The issue was investigated and found that konsole qml plugin is what 
needs work. Plugin author isn't able to look at the issue until next 
week, so we're on hold until then.

Possible *Mir* bug on maguro making some apps fail starting (Kevin)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8/+bug/1268693
-> a lot of people are looking into it, assign Kevin as tracking that 
one as it seems to be related to latest Mir.
-> affect quite a lot maguro. Will worth seeing if people can reproduce 
on the emulator?


See you next week for new touch adventures!
