<p>Overall, the members of the graphics team were lacking spare
time during this quarter. Thus, only few things could be
improved.</p>
<p>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 <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;&nbsp;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. Of course, the
URL will change as well.</p>
