Comment 35 for bug 1768245

My testing of these updates has been in 2 stages.

1) 2 weeks ago, shortly after tarball release by KDE, I built the testing packages in our staging PPAs and upgrades my primary system and a VM to them.

2) Once uploaded to -proposed I ppa-purge'd the ppa builds and upgraded to the candidate packages.

I am aware that (2) is the crucial part, but mention (1) as that significantly increases my confidence in the code changes/fixes.

For specific fixes mentioned in the changelogs that I could replicate the issue involved, I verified that that fix did indeed do as advertised.

For other packages where changes are more subtle (translation updates etc) I observed no regressions in the normal behaviour that I would expect, either in specific functions that I use where identifiable, or more generally where packages are more part of the whole desktop and desktop shell integration.

As a Kubuntu developer I am currently happy enough to support these updates being pushed to users.

I would note that plasma-discover has a 5.12.5.1 extra point update additional bugfixes that did not make it into 5.12.5, but I will either wait to put that through as a separate SRU, or should this one take longer update the package version.
