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 <tt>mesa-next</tt> branch.</p> + + <p>Several smaller updates to X.Org-related ports were committed + to the Ports tree.</p> + + <p>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.</p> + + <p>The update to the DRM device-independent code was merged to + <tt>stable/10</tt>. This means it will be available in the + upcoming &os; 10.2-RELEASE.</p> + + <p>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.
