Concerning these recent changes, there are two commits that catched my attention: two sailors made modifications in repositories (where Sailfish OS is upstream) to allow compilation with Qt6. Is it some personal initiative or a signal that finally a Qt upgrade may be sooner than later ? Future will tell, but this is the first time that such modifications are done by sailors. Up to now, they have always come from community members using the code in a different context (Nemo mobile, LuneOS…). A second element raised interest from the pull request title: "Add support for Android 13.", done by mal in droidmedia repository.

libconnman-qt, QML bindings for the connection manager, rferrazz fixed an issue when including headers, preventing VpnModel class to build under certain circumstances. -
qtdeclarative, Qt implementation of QML language, szopin proposed to be able to use theUSER-AGENTheader in an XMLHttpRequest, since it's now allowed by the spec and allowed by Qt since 2020. -
connman, the connection manager, Laakkonenjussi fixed an inconsistentcy between reported device power state and technology (like Wifi) power state. This resulted sometimes in Wifi reporting no networks. Laakkonenjussi also fixed issues arising from invalid country codes coming from the time zone data base.

mkcal, storage backend using SQLite for calendar entries, dcaliste commited several minor changes cleaning and allowing multi-notebook for events sharing the same UID. He also proposed not to emit a reset signal on a notebook change, but instead let the client code handle the refresh. -
buteo-sync-plugin-caldav, the synchronisation framework plugin for CalDAV content, dcaliste fixed a sync issue when adding an exception to a recurring event that was created on another device. dcaliste also implemented a way to retrieve allowed components in a calendar. -
nemo-qml-plugin-calendar, the QML for calendar access, dcaliste modified the calendar listing to restrict it to those allowing events (calendar like Nextcloud Tasks will not be visible anymore in the calendar application). He also worked on a large simplification, dropping therecurrenceIdargument in favour of a global unique identifier. This work is breaking the calendar QML API for functions likedeleteEvent(). The DBus API is still preserved though. Finally, he proposed to avoid to do a complete memory reset on calendar changes.
gecko-dev, Mozilla's Gecko web rendering engine, attah proposed to enable the dialog element, since this element is now standard and available since Firefox 53.

droidmedia, Android media wrapper library, rainemak got and completed the work started a while ago by d-grigorev to make the starting of MediaCodec asynchronous. This may help to gain 12 to 14 frames on camera start-up for instance. He completed it with a fix to allow to keep compilation working for Android before version 7. mal has provided support for Android 13. -
gmp-droid, a Gecko Media Plugin to enable use of Android hardware codecs through droidmedia on libhybris-based devices, rainemak continued the work of d-grigorev ensuring that the video encoder is producing a constant bitrate stream, not to conflict with WebRTC bandwidth limiting algorithms. -
gecko-camera, a plugin-based library for Gecko to simplify video capture, rainemak and d-grigorev propagates recent changes fromgmp-droidon constant bitrate for video capture. -
amber-mrpis, QML bindings for remote control of music players, Tomin1 fixed build with Qt6.
-
libglibutil, a library extending GLib with convenient utilities, slava added methods to deal with arrays of GOject references. -
nfcd, the daemon for near field communication, slava added a new class to avoid allocating unnecessary GBytes objects and reduce data copying in Listen mode. -
usb-moded, the USB tracking daemon, piggz adjusted the USB device controller enumeration to handle properly the Volla X23 model, where there are two such controllers (but one dummy). -
yamui, minimal UI tool for displaying simple graphical indicators, Laakkonenjussi renamed thedebugoption intoskip-cleanup. -
libiodata, a library for writing and reading structured data, pvuorela beautified the code with clang-format. -
timed, time and alarm handling daemon, pvuorela fixed an issue raised by Laakkonenjussi while working on regulatory domain adjustments. The code is now comparing paths instead of inodes (for symlinks, the inode stay the same while the target may change). He also ran clang-format on the code base. -
nemo-qml-plugin-models, provides QML models for searching or filtering, jmlich updated the code to compile with Qt6. -
libnl, a convenience library for kernel netlink sockets, pvuorela updated it to 3.7.0. -
nemo-qml-plugin-notifications, QML bindings to the Freedesktop notification system, mkosola fixed build with Qt6. -
sensorfw, sensor framework, lgtrombetta fixed calibration issues of the magnetometer. The patch has been tested on the PinePhone and is proposed by the Ubuntu touch community.
busybox, a single binary which includes versions of a large number of system commands, mal updated it to 1.36.1.
