The focus continues to be on stablizing for the 2.80 release. About
105 bugs were fixed last week.

* COLLADA: reworked material import & export. (Gaia Clary)
* Gizmo's can now activate on drag or on press, with a preference in
the keymap to choose. With drag objects behind the gizmo can be
selected, but it introduces a few pixels delay when starting to drag.
(Campbell Barton)
