Lots of bug triage and user support in Launchpad and upstreams. Backlog stats are here.
Continued working with Nathan to audit some lingering VA-API patches in Chromium.
Came up with a general solution for the Nvidia phantom monitor problem after much experimentation. Handed it over to Alessandro to propose for packaging.
Just today we finished verifying all the Mutter 46.2 SRU bug fixes.
Triple buffering: Work in progress fixing new test failures and resolving new code review discussions.
Proposed more robust assertions for 48-bit colour tests causing failures on ppc64.
Minor progress on secondary GPU error handling led to another cleanup. The cleanup was merged, but then forced me to fix resulting conflicts in a number of branches.
Packaged BlueZ 5.77 for Oracular.
