Hi all,

GNOME
- Some enhancements to Dash To Dock transparency support have landed upstream and will land in Bionic once there are a few more fixes to merge.
- Support for volume going above 100% is starting to land upstream in GNOME, such as schema changes and settings daemon support, we still need to get some more input on the UI side of things from the GNOME designers before this is complete.

- An SRU for gtk+3 bringing it up to version 3.22.25 has landed in Artful as has an update to Mutter version 3.26.2
