<p>This report covers &os;-related projects between April and June
2013. This is the second of four reports planned for 2013.</p>
<!-- XXX: theraven's part goes here -->
<p>The last three months have been very active for the &os;
developer community, including events such as BSDCan and the &os;
Developer Summit collocated with it (covered in a separate report,
see the <a
href="report-2013-05-devsummit.html">BSDCan Developer Summit Special</a>)
and BSD-Day 2013. It has also seen improvements from the top to
the bottom of the &os; system. Desktop users will be pleased to
note work on improving the state of AMD GPUs and making the
console interaction with kernel mode setting &mdash; required for
recent <tt>xorg</tt> drivers &mdash; cleaner and from continued
work to make binary packages easier to use. Developers will note
continued improvements to our toolchain, with a new debugger being
prepared for integration. Server users will benefit from various
improvements to virtualization support and scalability in the
kernel. Of course, the &os; system is nothing without
applications to run atop it, and this quarter has seen some
tireless work by members of the ports team to ensure that users
have a wide choice of desktop and development environments, with
highlights from the GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and Haskell teams in this
report.</p>
<!-- XXX: keep updating the number of entries -->
<p>Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report
contains 33 entries and we hope you enjoy reading it.</p>
