October already! As the leaves start to turn red here in the northern hemisphere, here’s a brief summary of what we did in September.

Bugs

• BugTask:+addcomment’s title doesn’t duplicate the bug number (#1323808)
• The duplicates portlet of bug tasks no longer links to invisible private bugs and now uses the correct sprite for each bug (#1443418, #1465880)
• Show hidden bug comments to their owners (#1391394)

Code

• Line numbers in merge proposal preview diffs are now unselectable (#1483925)
• Branch revision listings link more sensibly to merged branches and merge proposals (#711647)
• Git repositories and refs have more sensible breadcrumb links (#1466271)
• Source package recipe builds now include the distribution series in their titles (#1491336)
• Allow archive owners to cancel their recipe builds, and make recipes use the normal cancellation infrastructure (#624630)
• Make it possible to retry superseded builds, since there are situations where they can become unsuperseded (#444030)
• The index page for Git refs is more useful
• Fix crashes on various +activereviews pages when there are no active reviews (#1499744, #1501134)
• Precache branch permissions in Branch.landing_candidates, fixing API timeouts (#1500576)
• Add webhook support for Bazaar branches, currently enabled on qastaging though not yet on production

Mail

• Team membership notifications now honour the “Include filtering information in email footers” setting, and have rationale information in the headers and footer (#296889, #508897)
• There is a new X-Launchpad-Message-For mail header (or Launchpad-Message-For in expanded footers) giving just the name of the person or team directly subscribed to the notification (#1493844)
• Treat “me” in person-or-team contexts in mail handlers as the current user (#340397)

We now consider the “Gmail filtering improvements” work complete.  Let us know if there are further categories of mail sent by Launchpad that you’re finding difficult to filter using Gmail.

Registry

• Distribution index pages hide links to disabled features (#80315, #257627)
• Set consistent colour for the “Opinion” bug task status (#648645)
• Blueprints on milestone pages have icons again and are sortable (#1354387)
• Old user-to-user email database references no longer prevent changing team privacy (#1498497)

Snap packages

• Snap packages now have edit, administer, and delete views
• Branches, Git repositories and refs, people, teams, and products now have snap package listing views
• Members of ~launchpad-snap-builders can create snap packages in the web UI based on Bazaar or Git branches
• Snap package owners can request builds in the web UI

Soyuz (package building)

• Stop showing the confusing .dsc component on source package index pages (#521722)
• Export archive deletion on the API (#814633)
• Allow overriding the build version for live filesystem builds (#1496074)
• Archive owners can change the “build debug symbols” and “publish debug symbols” settings on their own archives, rather than needing to ask an admin
• The publisher no longer sometimes tries to update Contents files for immutable suites such as the release pocket of stable series, which could cause checksums in Release to get out of sync (#1448270)
• Publishing PPAs now creates clearsigned InRelease files to improve reliability of updates (#804252); we intend to add this to the primary Ubuntu archive as well once one last piece of mirroring infrastructure is made ready for it
• Archive owners can enable or disable unrestricted architectures on their own archives, rather than needing to ask an admin; we will unrestrict further architectures once they have adequate virtualised build infrastructure available
• Enabling a test rebuild archive no longer times out (#1500973)
