The last days before release

[Nicholas Skaggs]

First and foremost -- if you have helped test in any way this cycle, 
make sure I've got your name recorded (or if you don't want your name 
published, let me know) -- this is the current draft of what will go 
into the release notes of ubuntu for quantal.

Next, I wanted to thank everyone for riding the roller-coaster of 
development yet again and helping to make this release a successful one. 
We've got 2 days left before release, and the team is still trying to 
chase down some last minute bugs as usual. If your noticing anything 
that is critically broken, please make sure the release team knows about 
it. Feel free to contact myself or the list if you are unsure. Other 
bugs you find may become SRU'd post-release, so please do report 
anything you see.

As for testing, ARM appears to be good -- have any of the ARM testers 
seen issues with upgrading from precise? The 'black bar' bug is cosmetic 
and will ship on the final version -- Launchpad bug 1055949 in unity 
"Unity panel shadow appears as solid black bar on GLES/ARM (Pandaboard)" 
[Medium,Confirmed].

On the desktop side, things appear to be shaking out ok -- has anyone 
been able to test wubi and have it work well? The new binary should be 
available to do so. My personal upgrades from precise to quantal went 
well just last evening -- so even a real-world upgrade scenario passed 
with little issue.

Finally, we won't be having an official meeting tomorrow so as to not 
interrupt any testing going on. However, you are encouraged to use the 
#ubuntu-testing channel at any time to discuss bugs, problems, and get 
help testing. Due to UDS I would also suggest we cancel October 24th and 
October 21st meetings, making the next meeting November 7th. The wiki 
has been updated to reflect this, but we can change it if there is a 
prevailing reason or interest to meet during those days. Thanks everyone 
and happy testing in these last days.

Nicholas
