The documentation website is becoming more and more complete, with descriptions for applications but also with more technical articles on logging and debugging. It has definitely become a source of valuable information from beginner usage to expert one. There has been a lot of activities in various libraries recently, with the initiative from neochapay to extend packaging to allow concurrent installation of Qt5 and Qt6 versions. This is not directly for a use in Sailfish OS, but these are notable contributions helping to prepare the transition.
libgofonoext, a client library for Sailfish OS ofono extensions, slava freshened up the copyright holder and updated the Debian packaging compatibility level.
ohm-plugins-misc, some plugins inherited from Nokia for the open hardware manager (OHM), jusa ensures that headphone connexion / disconnexion is properly reported for drivers that inverts logic.

connman, the connection manager, LaakkonenJussi merged in his pull request not to timeout VPN that are waiting for credentials. LaakkonenJussi also backport an upstream patch fixing a crash on malformed HTTP response. With the previous patch, errors became silently ignored, so LaakkonenJussi added a merge request to actually log these. -
libconnman-qt, QML bindings for the connection manager, LaakkonenJussi is exposing a newassociationstate for VPNs. elro34 found and fixed a memory leak on DBus exposition of technology changes. -
nemo-qml-plugin-systemsettings, QML bindings for various system parameters, LaakkonenJussi added anassociationstate to the VPN status when the VPN is waiting for credentials for instance.

libiodata, a library for writing and reading structured data, neochapay is proposing changes to support parallel installation of a Qt6-based version. -
timed, time and alarm handling daemon, neochapay is also proposing to adjust the build system to support Qt6. -
libresourceqt, Qt library for resource policy, neochapay is adjusting the code to compile with Qt6. -
libmce-qt, Qt client for mce and a declarative plugin for it, neochapay is proposing a pull request adjusting the build system for Qt6 parallel installation. -
libngf-qt, Qt-based client library for Non-Graphic Feedback daemon, neochapay has also a pull request updating the repository for Qt6. -
libusb-moded-qt, a library of Qt bindings for usb_moded, neochapay adjusted the source and the build system for Qt6 compliance. -
nemo-qml-plugin-configuration, QML bindings to access configuration values, neochapay is also proposing changes to get the package build with Qt6. -
nemo-qml-plugin-time, QML bindings for time handling (system wide clocks…), neochapay continued his upgrade work for Qt6 with this package. -
libqofono, Qt bindings for Ofono, neochapay also pushed a request for Qt6 upgrade of the build system. jmlich spotted an installation issue for the test and fixed it.

doxygen, the code documentation tools, vigejolla updated to the latest 1.9.5 version from last August (from 1.7.6.1) and rework the repository layout to use git submodules. He also fixed a build dependency in a second commit. -
amber-web-authorization, a QML module allowing applications to perform OAuth1 and OAuth2 requests, vigejolla clarified the documentation on how to declare a build dependency on this package, following a question on the Forum. -
pacrunner, a daemon for processing proxy configuration, martyone modified a patch allowing pacrunner to run on a custom DBus bus. This is part of a work to handle proxy in SDK. -
sailfish-qtcreator, the Qt IDE, martyone added a--stableoption to the newscrapecommand. With this option, the original names of the patchs are preserved. martyone also added a modification to force the build engine to restart to take into account proxy changes. martyone got accepted his pull request to allowvalgrindto perform memcheck with tunnelled connections. -
sdk-setup, part of the Sailfish SDK, martyone modifiedmb2tool to add a--stableoption to the newscrapecommand. martyone also modifiedsdk-manageto take into acount a proxy configuration when dealing with toolings and targets. martyone also limited the patch names used by thescrapecommand to be compatible with git maximum length for patch filenames. -
rust, the Rust programming language compiler, vigejolla added the build dependencies for the cross-compilation packages.

python-setuptools, easily build and distribute Python packages, mal has removed the build date fromegg-infotag, to ensure reproducible builds. -
gecko-camera, a plugin-based library for Gecko to simplify video capture, mal has removed the release tag from the versioning to ensure reproducible builds. -
nspr, platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities like threads, file and network IO…, mal set the build time in a fixed way, based on the changelog one. -
kf5bluezqt, the KDE framework handling Bluetooth, mal fixed a packaging issue after the Doxygen upgrade. -
qtmozembed, Qt bindings for the Gecko engine, mal fixed build reproducibility by makingreadelfsuccess during build-compare. It was previously failing becausett.binexecutable was lacking a proper ELF header.
