DDE(deepin Desktop Environment)
Progress
Over the past two weeks, efforts have focused on defect fixes, and the project has now entered code freeze. Key updates include:
- Migrated dde-session to Qt 6, removing dependencies on pre-installed Qt 5 translation tools and Qt Designer.
- Optimized the DDE Uninstall Service for immutable environments, resolving failures in specific scenarios.
- Fix Launcher and Taskbar not displaying on the same screen in some boundary cases.
Fix the problem that dragging the Taskbar quickly when the Launcher is displayed may cause incomplete display of the Taskbar. - Began migration of deepin-face to Qt 6.8 (ongoing; remaining work will resume post-deepin 25 Alpha release).
- Audited internationalization (i18n) translations across projects and integrated pending text updates.
Plans
- Ensure smooth release of deepin 25 Alpha.
- Continue defect resolution and feature development.
