Mobile settings now remembers the last opened panel and allows to configure the OSK layout (if using phosh-osk-stub). This ensures you can only select layouts that are actually present.

2/n

Phosh's upcoming events plugin can now show an arbitrary number of days, the torch slider gets hidden when there's only one brightness level (as e.g. on the PinePhone). Unlocking can no longer accidentally swipe to the lockscreen plugins, notifications look a bit nicer and more.

3/n

got more layouts , improved scaling and the height of the OSK can be adjusted via a setting

4/n

phosh-osk-stub (and ) got several fixes related to text completion / prediction so we enable it by default if the app requests it (e.g. chatty and GNOME TextEditor do). This will hopfully let more apps do that.

The OSK also got a paste button.

5/n

feedbackd now supports the alert slider on OnePlus 6 / 6T and phrog is now the recommended greeter UI.

@phosh Won't this require that a notification-daemon implements an "incoming phone call UI"?

@whynothugo It can add the relevant actions to the notification. It's no different in how the client does it today.

@phosh It's a really weird additional role for a notification daemon. The more simple implementations simply show a notification on the corner of the (unlocked) screen.

"Playing a ringtone" is not a feature that (AFAIK) most notification daemon implement.
And notifications are quite poor UX, so it's quite common to see setups that entirely ignore them.

It just feels like a new API for this would have been better than piggybacking on something an API for something so unrelated.

@whynothugo I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here. This is really about an additional category for notifications, you seem to be reading much more into it.

@phosh Oh, yeah, I somehow interpreted that the notification daemon had to show the "incoming call" UI too. You're right, I did read into it more than what you'd said.

@whynothugo that would indeed be an odd use of the notification categories 🙃
