• Today: *

  • Looked at #788 (functional tests) in light of Ali's comments. I've added my own thoughts to that ticket and would love feedback.
  • Created PR #940 (activestate on FramelessDialog class button) which fixes #927 #928 and #912. This is a draft PR because I found a niggle with the animation and would like feedback about the way the UI looks given the work done so far. (It won't take much to get this over the line).
  • Took a short amount of time to look into #899, only to realise this is, I believe, addressed / discussed in #870.
  • Investigated #896 (messages getting stuck in skeleton mode). This appears to be more to do with GPG getting into a bad state. Solution is to restart GPG agent, but none of the commands I found online worked for me, so instead I rebooted my machine. Suggestions welcome (from GPG experts).
  • Going finish my day by trying to get #870 over the line.

• Blockers / Asks: *

  • Feedback on the above mentioned PRs.
  • I'll continue on Nina's UI polish list unless other things come in.
