Repository roundup

voicecall, the open source part of the calling application, dcaliste proposed to add a filter() function so plug-ins can implement silencing an incoming call, or hang it up automatically. This API change is still under discussion.
messagingframework, the email Qt framework, dcaliste updated from upstream, bringing an API for email decryption.
nemo-qml-plugin-email, QML bindings for emails, dcaliste added support to read encrypted emails.
libsocialcache, a library and a QML plugin that is used to manage cache from social networks, pvuorela proposed to add support for PNG files (previously, only jpeg files were downloaded). He also improved logging errors.
connman, the connection manager, LaakkonenJussi optimized the calculation of the Wifi weak RSSI list, to happen only once. The repository has also been updated to upstream version 1.33.
libconnman-qt, QML bindings for the connection manager, pvuorela created a singleton ConnMan object to expose paths and avoid the creation of full technology objects.
buteo-syncfw, the framework handling synchronisation, sunweaver contributed conditional compilation in the synchroniser, to allow to use Buteo Synchronisation framework in OS without Nemo keepalive, like Ubuntu touch. pvuorela cleaned up the packaging not to include private headers.

yamui, a minimal UI tool for displaying simple graphical indicators, spiiroin added support for a centred text in addition to an image in the minimal visual interface used during OS update for instance.

sailfish-components-filemanager, QML components to create a file manager, pvuorela added error reporting in console during disk usage calculation.

firejail, the isolation mechanism for process from the host system, dcaliste fixed an issue with the time zone for jailed applications. Prior to the fix, any change of the device time zone was not propagated inside the isolated applications.
qtsensors, Qt bindings for the sensor framework, spiiroin fixed an issue, making the UI not to react to orientation changes.
sensorfw, sensor framework, spiiroin ensured proper retry and clean exit when loading the Hybris sensor module.
sensors-glib, sensors API for glib based C applications, spiiroin created a new interface to sensors, using a C API based on GLib objects.

busybox, a single binary which includes versions of a large number of system commands, mal increased the maximum line length when editing.
