This week I can only present a very small summary. Somehow not much has happened, but the review list is getting longer. For users of Intel IvyBridge I would recommend to wait with upgrading to Mesa 9.1 till the release of KDE SC 4.10.1. One of our (optional) shaders seems to hit a performance regression on that driver. It’s not a really bad thing and we were quite lucky that we had a hot-fix for KWin on the day 4.10.1 got tagged. Thanks a lot to our users doing a git bisect on the mesa sources which allowed us to provide both commit and an example shader to the developers. This are the nice things about free software that make me really happy. Especially if you get in turn suggestions on how to improve the shader.
