Overall, the members of the graphics team were lacking spare + time during this quarter. Thus, only few things could be + improved.

+ +

Our ports development tree still holds an update to Mesa 10.6 + (it was 10.5 in the previous quarterly report) along with many + cleanups and bugfixes. Initially, we planned to commit it in + early July, just after FreeBSD 8.4-RELEASE EOL, but this EOL + was delayed to the 31st of July. Therefore, we will send a + Call For Testers near the end of July so the update can be + committed in early August. Of course, the update can still be + obtained and tested directly from the Ports development tree + by using the mesa-next branch.

+ +

Several smaller updates to X.Org-related ports were committed + to the Ports tree.

+ +

The work on the i915 kernel driver update made no progress + during this quarter due to the lack of free time. + Fortunately, it can resume in Q3 with the hope to have + something ready to test in September 2015.

+ +

The update to the DRM device-independent code was merged to + stable/10. This means it will be available in the + upcoming &os; 10.2-RELEASE.

+ +

Recently, the website hosting our blog has been down + frequently. It is again the case at the time of this + writing). We could export the data the last time it was up, + so we will probably move to another system. Of course, the + URL will change as well.
