Mickael

Yesterday:

Nicholas

  • Today: *

    • Continued work on #707. This involved:

      • Figuring out SqlAlchemy related Gremlins (apparently sessions get "stale" and require a commit to ensure newly downloaded data is available)

      • Working around said gremlins (handling the new items in such a way that their content becomes available)

      • Creating PR #752 (draft) so folks can see this approach along with associated unit tests

      • Performance testing (200 sources) which raised the dreaded unresponsive UI problem again

      • Making inroads to address the performance problems. I'm confident I understand the problem and should be able to apply a fix on Monday. Currently every new message gets handled by every source widget. What we need is every new message to be handled once by exactly the right single source. This will require re-jigging how things are connected via signals/slots.

  • Blockers or Asks: *

    • None, but feel free to take a look at PR # 752. I welcome comments.
    • Tomorrow (Friday) isn't an FPF day for me. I'll be online if you need me, but will be working on other things.

Ro

Yesterday:

  • Support comms & many meetings
  • Improved invoice/quote tracking plan with Ryan
  • IVF/directory listing update
  • Low-key Qubes + LUKS drive unmounting/remounting issue that, if I can successfully isolate/repro, I may file an upstream issue for (or there may be one already)

Today:

Blockers or Asks:

  • Ask: I've been filing some issues as I run into things on the workstation; if I file issues in the wrong spot (client vs workstation), or if I can improve the quality of my issues, don't be shy to let me know.
