Fedora Workstation 21
| Project Name | Developer/Owner | Status | Justification
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Software Installer - better app data | Ryan Lerch | Underway, looking at making part of Fedora packaging guidelines | The Application installer is the primary method for our users to find new software. Having good application installer metadata for all Fedora software meant to be installed with the software installer is thus crucial for our end user experience. https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/414 |
| Wayland keyboard layouts | Rui Matos | DONE | |
| Wayland dnd | Benjamin Otte | DONE https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697855 | Drag and Drop support is another area where we do not want to regress as we move to Wayland |
| Wayland - Xwayland | Adam Jackson/Jasper St Pierre | DONE | We need X support both for legacy applications and we will also keep relying on certain X technologies for the core desktop for a transition period |
| Wayland - clutter-gtk/subsurface | Bastien Nocera | DONE | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695737 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736564 |
| Wayland - Colour management | Richard Hughes | DONE | We have a lot of users who rely on our great colour management support, like artists and animators. This is another area where we do not want to risk regressing with the Wayland switch |
| Wayland - GDM integration / session handling | Ray Strode/Jasper St Pierre | DONE | As we phase in Wayland we want users to be able to freely switch between the running an X session and a Wayland session. |
| Wayland basic HiDPI display support | Owen Taylor | DONE | Feature-parity with X hidpi support, mixed-monitor still outstanding |
| Multimonitor - better vertical stacking | Florian Muellner | DONE | A lot of developers and sysadmins use multimonitor setups. We need to have best of class handling of these kind of setups. |
| Multimonitor - remember which monitor windows were on | Florian Muellner | DONE | A lot of developers and sysadmins use multimonitor setups. We need to have best of class handling of these kind of setups. |
| Terminal - theme changes (white-on-black) | Debarshi Ray | DONE | We might need to tweak /etc/DIR_COLOURS also. |
| Terminal - bring back transparency | Debarshi Ray | DONE patch in Fedora | A lot of users like this feature for a varity of reasons. Upstream not interested so we will maintain it as a Fedora patch. |
| Terminal - Allow disabling all keybindings in one go | Matthias Clasen | DONE | |
| Terminal - search provider | Debarshi Ray | DONE | |
| Software Installer -use hawkey, already the case in rawhide | Richard Hughes | DONE | |
| Software Installer - folder configuration | Richard Hughes | DONE | |
| Software Installer - performance | Richard Hughes | DONE | |
| Boxes side-by-side VMs | Zeeshan Ali | DONE | |
| Boxes - snapshots | Zeeshan Ali | DONE https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710306 | |
| full touch support in GTK+ | Carlos Garnacho | DONE | Modern laptops and all-in-one desktops are being shipped with touchscreens. If we do not have decent touchscreen support this will start to count as a disadvantage for our product and platform. Applications needs to be made touch aware on a case by case basis as makes sense. |
| Rygel, Chromecast etc., firewall interaction | Tomas Woerner and Bastien Nocera | DONE, http://www.hadess.net/2014/06/firewalls-and-per-network-sharing.html | We want desktop services to work flawlessly for users without having to fiddle with the firewall settings. Especially as the firewall getting in the way has a tendency to make people simply disable the firewall. |
| Totem UI refresh | Bastien Nocera | DONE | |
| HIG Guidelines | Allan Day | DONE http://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2014/08/21/new-human-interface-guidelines-for-gnome-and-gtk/ | Having a good HIG available is important to help developers who want to target our product be able to produce a nicely integrated experience. Our goal here it to make a compelling open source desktop that can stand on its own in comparison with Windows and MacOS X. |
| Wayland - Input devices | Peter Hutterer | DONE, Libinput released and used | |
| Include devassistant | DONE | ||
| OverlayFS | jwb/dhowells | DONE | This is one of the features we need to be able to do desktop containers in a nice and efficient way. This will in fact also be very useful for any kind of containers so the expectation is that once we manage to land this all Docker containers will use it. |
| Terminal - improve preference dialogs | Allan Day | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=724110, general and scrolling tabs are done | |
| Evolution - composer webkit port | Tomas Popela | done |
Fedora Workstation 22
| Software Installer - better app data | Ryan Lerch | Underway, looking at making part of Fedora packaging guidelines | The Application installer is the primary method for our users to find new software. Having good application installer metadata for all Fedora software meant to be installed with the software installer is thus crucial for our end user experience. https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/414 |
| gnome-session gdbus port | Ray Strode | DONE | Preparation for systemd user sesssions |
| Boxes - add a way to change vts | Zeeshan Ali | DONE (initial support done, may add more later) | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725303 |
| Terminal - long-running job notification | Debarshi Ray | done as downstream patches in Fedora | Feature parity with other OS's. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711059, will copy the elementary OS approach |
| Wayland - input configuration protocol/library API | Peter Hutterer/Hans de Goede/Carlos Garnacho | mostly DONE here | Feature parity with X |
| Wayland - input configuration UI | Rui Matos | Done | feature parity with X |
| Wayland - pointer barriers | Jonas Ådahl | DONE | Feature parity with X. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706655 |
| Use Wayland on the login screen | Ray Strode | done | gets us wider exposure without requiring a full session Changes/Login_Screen_Over_Wayland |
| Make sure xorg-x11-drv-libinput is in the Workstation package set | Hans de Goede | Done | Add a dependency in the fedora-workstation package, since we don't want to force it across board yet in xorg-x11-drivers |
| Software Installer - Search in disabled repositories | Richard Hughes | Done | code blog post |
| Software Installer - Codec installation | Kalev Lember | done | Move the gnome-packagekit session service for codec, mime handler, font, etc installation to gnome-software and drop our remaining gnome-packagekit dependency |
| Desktop log viewer - improve performance | David King | Done | Investigate using a worker thread for journal interaction, using async api |
Abrt - integrate with privacy settings |
Bastien Nocera, Abrt team | done | Use a privacy panel setting rather than gnome-abrt preferences, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742375, https://github.com/abrt/gnome-abrt/issues/74, http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027006.html, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182635 |
| Abrt - improve notifications | Bastien Nocera, Abrt team | done | https://github.com/abrt/gnome-abrt/issues/105 |
| nautilus - port to GAction, complete the design refresh work | Carlos Soriano | done |  Changes/Nautilus_Improvements
|
| Firefox GTK3 port | Martin Stransky | Enabled in rawhide | Important migration to make sure Firefox can keep working as an integral part of the desktop |
| Firefox screensaver inhibition | Martin Stransky | done | Firefox uses the dbus interface to inhibit screen locking during media playback |
| Qt - Adwaita theme | Martin Briza | done | We want all applications to feel native and run well in the Workstation, regardless of if they are written using GTK, Qt, Java or something else. A developer should be able to choose the tools he or she wants without having to think about how their tools of choice have been implemented. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1176658 |
| Qt - ibus support | Martin Briza | OK | Support for various kinds of language input should also be transparent across toolkits
status: ibus works with Qt apps out of the box. You just need to install ibus-qt to have the popup right over the text you're writing - otherwise it's at the bottom of the window. |
| Qt - ensure ibus-qt is installed by default | Matthias | done | |
| Qt notifications | Martin Briza | OK | This may need work on the gnome-shell side too
status: Notifications do work - they're shown right. However, some Qt apps use tray status icons, which aren't shown anywhere - Clementine does this, for example. |
| gnome-shell - new notification design | Florian Muellner | done | here The message tray is a remaining weak spot of the original gnome-shell design Changes/GnomeShell_NewNotifications https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/log/?h=wip/fmuellner/notification-redux
|
Fedora Workstation 23
| Project Name | Developer/Owner | Status | Justification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ambient backlight handling | Bastien Nocera + Richard Hughes | Mostly done | Make sure we have ambient backlight drivers for important modules in the kernel, add support to gnome-settings-daemon. |
| Wayland - mixed HiDPI display support for Wayland clients | Jonas Ådahl | done | We want perfect support for HiDPI displays with Wayland as going forward those are probably going to end up being the default displays on any new system. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728902 |
| Make X launching code paths similar to Wayland in gdm | Ray Strode | Done | Move towards socket activation for X and Wayland |
| Port libgdata to newer Google apis | Debarshi Ray | done | The api used in the Google Drive backend will stop working April 2015 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684920 |
| nautilus - Google Drive support | Debarshi Ray | done | Will be implemented as a gvfs module, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739008 |
| Chromium screensaver inhibition | Tomas Popela | done | |
| Polari IRC client | SoC project done | Already somewhat done, need community involvement to take to production level | |
| Introduce xdg-app in Fedora | David King, Alexander Larsson | available in a Fedora | Make xdg-app available for building, installing and running app bundles |
| Qt/KDE - ensure mouse and other input settings transfer accross when running Qt/KDE apps | Jan Grulich | verified | mbriza: Will test when the configuration dialog works in F22 GNOME. Anyway, since there are virtually no settings there, it will be fun. Also: regarding keyboard layout, GNOME doesn't use ibus-setup so it's not likely anything will be transferred. |
| liveusb-creator - visual refresh | Martin Briza/Jakub Steiner | Done | This is the 'first point of contact' with Fedora - it should look polished and modern https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/LiveUsbCreatorFacelift mockups
|
| Software Installer - Integrate Bios/Firmware updates | Richard Hughes, Peter Jones | done | |
| Abrt - improve desktop client | Bastien Nocera, Abrt team | partially done | https://github.com/abrt/gnome-abrt/issues |
