* we now make bugs golden colored in sru-report if they have comments
since being uploaded
* the recoverable errors API was uploaded to Quantal, documentation
pending
* http://errors.ubuntu.com  now shows 6 months worth of data on the
average errors per day graph
* erroneous 'not' entries are no longer added to the Last Seen field on
http://errors.ubuntu.com 
* http://errors.ubuntu.com navigation now shares the site navigation
from qa.ubuntu.com
* individual problem pages on e.u.c have been reworked with clearer
titles and formatting
* individual instance pages on e.u.c now use the expanders from
Launchpad to autohide long fields, very much matching the Apport UI
* implementation of the rest of the compiz changes for error reports
from application hangs has happened
* at debconf a plan for saner (e)glibc maintenance in Debian/Ubuntu was
worked on
* rebootstrappin of GHC and gnat-4.6 on armel, and subsequent rebuilds
to reduce the FTBFS list for armel
* firefox and thunderbird compile options on armel and armhf have been
fixed
* rebootstrapping of sbcl on powerpc

== What's about to land that might impact the other teams? ==

* armhf server images are supposed to be built the same way as x86,
since QA scripts seem to depend on preinstalled server currently we
should probably consider to build both image types in parallel until all
QA scripting is ported over.
