And here's the summary for this week.

The highlights:

- Long press on Running Application lens previews allows to close apps.
- Progress integrating GStreamer for hardware video rendering using the
  Ubuntu Application API and the Android video driver.

Interesting work:
- sdk:
  - Rotation support added.
- new sources:
  - ppa:ubuntu-unity/daily-build-next transitionary for landing into the
    archive.
  - Daily release for all original _core_ applications
- hud:
  - New hud release.

Known issues:
- Cannot close apps with hud.
- Some applications fail to launch (i.e.: notes-app, gallery, camera-app, ...)
- Stabilization in progress for new daily-build-next ppa.

Cheers
Sergio
