This week has seen lots of last minute polish for the 4.10 release. Most issues should be fixed in RC3, but there is still some work going on to deal with regressions outside of KWin which nobody had noticed for too long. From the features/improvement department: KWin’s support information includes information about screens to finally end the discussions about whether a user is using multi-head, xrandr or who knows what. Our window decoration library gained support for two new window border sizes: no borders on the side and no borders at all. This is highly inspired by the already existing feature in Oxygen and got now also available in Aurorae for QML based themes.

Last but not least I wanted to remind that the summary below is generated from the bug reports set to resolved fixed in Bugzilla over the last week. This does not mean that the bug got fixed, but that the report had been set to fixed. Sometimes this is done through a commit, sometimes it’s just some house cleaning. The last weeks have seen lots of cleaning. Also the title of a bug report is mostly set by the user and especially in the case of a crash report has very often not much to do with what has really been the case. So if you want to get excited about a bug in that list, you should at least click the link and read through it and see what it is about and when it got fixed. Even if the bug report is more than a decade old it does not say anything without the context.
