It was posted earlier, it was on planetkde.org during the downtime. Anyway, thumbs up Derek! Oh, and also thumbs up to the admins behind the Dot, since we're back online!

I miss the nice table on the previous format of the digest, where
all commits were separated by subproject and by cathegory: bugfixing,
new features, optimization, etc.

Is it possible to have that table back?

The problem is that the types other than bugfixes, etc. will not be indexed by the TOC. Backports, Branch development, Documentation, Graphics (icons, splashes, etc) Refactor (qt4 porting, app rewrites).

The amount of activity is so high I could either ignore most interesting work, ignore modules or applications (to the chagrin of the developers) or break everything up into smaller pieces. There were around 140 bugfixes last week. I doubt if very many readers wade through them all.

IOW, I'm not supporting the old layout. Too constrained.

This small change results in a vast speedup when joining large channels.
BUG:99922

just tested it, it's really faster now :)

it would be great to get rid of the painful status notification list when we open a channel with hundreds of people we get huge tons of

user1 is now Away
user2 is now Away
etc....

which is not very usefull and takes a long time (though less then before)

I was surprised to see people saying 12 is a huge font size. Yes SuSE decreased it, and I put it back to 12. I'm using a 1024x768 definition in a 15" TFT.

This depends. Some X servers set wrong DPI value, but they are justified that "most web pages are designed for 96 DPI".
See this bugzilla entry for some discussion:

If you ask me, those web pages should be redesigned ;)

It's great to see so much progress!
