DDE(deepin Desktop Environment)

Progress

  • Optimized the logic of the multitasking area in the taskbar, ensuring compatibility for independent display of window applications without desktop-id (including AppImage, etc.), preventing applications from being incorrectly displayed on other icons.

  • Fixed an issue where the list in Control Center's region settings could not scroll to the very bottom.

  • Optimized the display logic of the biometric authentication settings interface.

  • Fixed an issue of slow loading in the Bluetooth interface.

  • Corrected an issue where some text on the login/lock screen could not be translated into other languages by contributors and supplemented the translations.

  • Improved the animation behavior of touchpad gesture settings.

  • Performed interface fine-tuning on multiple components including the taskbar plugin and Control Center for a more unified design style.

Plan

  • Continue defect repair and optimization for various DDE components.

System Development

Progress

  • Updated packages including debianutils 5.23.2, wolfssl 5.7.2, lighttpd 1.4.79, sip-tester 3.7.3, tiff, sqlite3, etc.

  • Refactored imagemagick 6->7 related components.

  • Fixed python-tzlocal.

  • Fixed Sunway architecture-related issues in golang-golang-x-sys.

  • Fixed Sunway architecture-related issues in golang-github-coreos-bbolt.

  • Added support for golang-github-templexxx-cpu on the Sunway architecture.

  • Addressed security vulnerabilities.

Plan

  • Package updates and security vulnerability handling.

Linux Kernel

Progress

  • The 6.6 kernel branch continued integrating KABI reservations intended for the commercial edition.

  • The 6.6 kernel branch continued migrating folio conversion patches from the mm migrate tree, converting data structures from regular pages to compound pages.

  • The 6.6 kernel branch integrated Sunway patches, migrating the kvm_regs structure to uapi to support the corresponding package builds.

  • The 6.6 kernel branch integrated Sunway patches, updating build configuration files and including fixes for some system calls and KVM virtualization.

  • The 6.6 and 6.12 kernel branches integrated ACPI patches fixing an ACPI null pointer issue found on Honor laptops.

  • The 6.6 and 6.12 kernel branches enabled xgene-related kernel configurations to attempt support for Ampere eMAG systems.

  • The 6.6 and 6.12 kernel branches disabled NO_HZ_FULL on LoongArch for performance optimization.

  • The 6.12 kernel branch integrated patches up to Linux kernel community version 6.12.46, fixing known issues.

  • The 6.12 kernel branch integrated iwlwifi patches to support AX203 (firmware update pending integration).

  • The 6.12 kernel branch integrated performance optimization patches, moving prefault handling from the hot path to the non-hot path in the filemap.
