  • appmenu FS case (https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/591189)

Unity Foundations

General status:

• 0.6.3 indicator-sound released: Fast Forward/Rewind working nicely when you keep either previous or next pressed from either the mouse or keyboard, icons for playlist menu items are now fixed (Banshee is the client that exports icon names for now) and a new dbus method to complete the blacklist dbus api (to help clients adapt properly to the preferred behaviour outlined in the spec) and few other fixes (https://launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+milestone/0.6.3).

• No official releases this week; but a lot of fixing bugs essentially on indicators, dbusmenu

QA
