Repository roundup

connman, the connection manager, Laakkonenjussi fixed an inconsistentcy between reported device power state and technology (like Wifi) power state. This resulted sometimes in Wifi reporting no networks.

mkcal, storage backend using SQLite for calendar entries, dcaliste changed the ServiceHandler plugin API to reduce the exposure of ExtendedStorage and ExtendedCalendar objects. Indeed, these objects cannot be maintained since upstream KCalendarCore is dropping notebook support in calendars. pvuorela clean-up the packaging to avoid exporting private headers.
nemo-qml-plugin-calendar, the QML for calendar access, dcaliste propagated changes in ServiceHandler API. He also simplified internally how events are stored, using a global identifier for every events (including exceptions) instead of multi hastables based on event UID (exceptions shares the same UID as their recurring event). pvuorela cleaned up the code that was using private headers from mKCal. dcaliste also proposed a fix to some segfaults appearing on test quits. Finally, he worked on a large simplification, proposing to drop the recurrenceId argument in favour of a global unique identifier. This work is still under discussion and is breaking the calendar QML API for functions like deleteEvent().

qtlocation, Qt modules to handle positioning and location, poetaster started backporting changes in map provider URLs, so the rather old code currently in QtLocation can display again QML maps.

mapplauncherd-booster-browser, preload common browser QML components to get faster application starts, rainemak dropped the old booster-browser.service SystemD service. This service is no longer needed as there is a unified one that works both for email and browser.
timed, time and alarm handling daemon, pvuorela proposed to fix an issue raised by Laakkonenjussi while working on regulatory domain adjustments. The code is now comparing paths instead of inodes (for symlinks, the inode stay the same while the target may change).

sailjail, a wrapper around firejail, rainemak clarified the documentation, emphasing that Firejail is executed with command line arguments provided by Sailjail.
voicecall, the open source part of the calling application, pvuorela created (back) a -devel package. This is following the request from Michal-Szczepaniak proposing to package again the header files, so plugins can be compiled against voicecall. As pvuorela mentioned, it does not mean official "support for the out-of-tree plugins nor API stability promises".
mal added missing license file in packaging both for sqlite and zlib.
