Hey!

Two images today and one promotion today! How awesome can it be to 
promote image #13! People who are on the devel channel will start 
enjoying alarm and music playing even with the screen is off! We also 
discovered by some empiric measures that thanks to this Mir fix, the 
idling battery life greatly (really really hugely!) improved.

So, what came into those images?
#12:
- webapps AP tests fixes (and indeed, we have the tests not failing 
anymore with latest sdk!)
- a sync button is now added to the sync monitor toolbar

#13:
- Unity8 and notifications changes: enable zooming in images. Make snap 
decisions modal, enabling settings launcher counters, drop compatibility 
with Qt < 5.2.1 cleanup, change progress widget in previews to match design
- Allow custom override of the Touch lightdm config
- various webbrowser-app fixes

Automated test results were seeing the usual flaky tests and unity8 on 
stop crash. Filemanager was red (it has been renamed without any 
coordination, so the tests were not run) had to be fixed on the 
infrastructure side. However, there is still a flaky failure to look at 
there.
The dogfooding didn't spot anything blocking this image, hence the 
promotion decision!

However, Dave found an important bug which isn't a regression from image 
#2 (the notification was inactive before), but the Qt fix created 
another annoying corner case. He will post on this ML with more details 
later on.


Meanwhile, on the known issues:
** New scopes performance needs to be improved (Kevin for unity8 and 
Thomas for unity-scopes-shell)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity8/+bug/1297197
-> A fix is under review: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/unity8/dynamic_specialized_cards/+merge/218089

** Networking problems related to double-default-routes (Mathieu)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1307981
-> The workaround seems to fix most of use case. It's landing as we 
speak and should be in image #14.

** Clock app crashes when trying to access a saved alarm (Thomas S.)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1309057
-> Should be now fixed, needs more dogfooding tests.


* Issues not impacting on the user experience:
** Unity8 crashing on stop for every tests (Kevin)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-mir/+bug/1315251
The issue is in unity-mir. greyback will be on it once back from holidays.

** qtubuntu crash causing the dialer app to crash (only during tests) 
(Bill)
From Leo:
-> We still can't use upstart to launch the dialer. Thomi and Michael 
have landed a couple of branches on autopilot that improve things, but 
the bug that's affecting us I think is this one:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8/+bug/1305128. As soon as this is 
fixed, we will try again to land his branch: 
https://code.launchpad.net/~boiko/dialer-app/autopilot_upstart 
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eboiko/dialer-app/autopilot_upstart>

** Clock flaky test (Julien, Bill)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1307458
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clock-app/+bug/1314533
Best strategy seems to autopilot to capture a screenshot on the phone 
when there is an error (tracked in 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/autopilot/+bug/1308762)

** Autopilot test flakyness in test_add_photo (Julien, Bill)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gallery-app/+bug/1304950
-> A fix is available by Chris, need to be released. Bill can you handle 
this?
https://code.launchpad.net/~chris.gagnon/gallery-app/autopilot-test-cleanup/+merge/216937 


** Dialer-app flaky test (Julien, Bill):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dialer-app/+bug/1307588

** Rss reader flaky test (Julien):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-rssreader-app/+bug/1314531
-> This is fixed in trunk (and so, picked up). A better strategy for the 
tests needs to be addressed for long term though.

That's it for today! Enjoy your newly promoted image!
Cheers,
Didier
