+      <p>We were generally short on time this quarter.  We made less
+	progress than expected on all fronts.</p>
+
+      <p>The alternate pkg(8) repository, built with WITH_NEW_XORG, is
+	now available. This alleviates the need for users to rebuild
+	their ports with WITH_NEW_XORG. See the announcement, linked
+	above for further information.</p>
+
+      <p>Thanks to a contribution from Jan Kokemüller, Radeon 32bit
+	ioctls are now working on 64bit hosts. This was tested
+	successfully with Wine and StarCraft II on &os; 9.x and 11.
+	This required modifications to emulators/i386-wine-devel so
+	that it works with WITH_NEW_XORG, and the creation of a new
+	port, libtxc_dxtn, to support texture compression required by
+	StarCraft II. We haven't yet had the time to polish
+	everything, so this still requires manual steps.</p>
+
+      <p>The DRM generic code update is ready, but it breaks the
+	current i915 driver. Therefore, the i915 driver must be
+	updated before anything is committed.</p>
+
+      <p>Compared to last status report, OpenCL test programs are
+	running fine now, thanks to upgrades and fixes to libc++ and
+	Clang.  Relevant ports are still not ready to hit the ports
+	tree unfortunately.</p>
