[Alan Pope]

== What was done engineering wise? ==

* quantal
   - GSettings integration of compiz/unity
   - OpenGL ES support in compiz
   - Webapps support landed in trunks [FIX-REALLYSOONNOW]
   - Nux Animations use started in Unity
   - Dash Previews work
   - Multi-touch gestures for switching between windows
   - Coverflow in Dash
   - New tarball releases of libunity, dee and unity lenses - preview 
additions
* precise
   - Working on Unity SRU-2

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams and release
as a whole? ==

* nux
   -
* compiz
   - All the new features of past two months including ABI/API breaks. A 
lot of plugins remain to be ported to be OpenGL ES compatible.
* unity
   -
* bamf
   - Trunk has ABI and API changes, added webapps related features, 
removed some broken functions (symbols) - need to change soname (see LP: 
#1040268)
* libunity
   - Recently released libunity introduces some API changes - even 
though there is no ABI break, there is a small API break, so beware.
