| ## Fixit Week Summary |
| In the first week of February 2020 the frontend team had a "Fixit Week". |
| We focused on fixing all the little things that pile up and otherwise don't get attention. |
| We were able to fix around 36 issues. Big thanks to all contributers who joined us. |
| |
| ## Fixit Highlights |
| ### Hovercard for blame annotation |
| [Change](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/253121) |
| introduces a new hovercard with commit message when hovering over the blame annotation. |

| ### Improving layout of label scores |
| [Change](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/253165) |
| improves layout to the table so the buttons are not so far away from the label name. |
| Also add a background-color on hover to highlight which label you are about to vote on. |

| ### Warn user in submit dialog about unresolved comments |
| [Change](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/253130) |
| introduces a new warning when submitting a change with unresolved comments. |
| It doesn't block submit, just gives the last notification about unresolved comments. |

| ### Honor date format from preferences when displaying dates |
| [Change](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/253116) |
| fixes some places where we didn't honor the date format from the user's preferences. |
| For example if user sets date format `3.Jun` instead of default `Jun 3` dashboard |
| will be changed as in the screenshot below. |
