Hey,

First, I want to thanks Lukasz for his excellent work on the last couple 
of days. I know it was tough, but we keep getting work done!
Since the last email, we got 2 images built:

175:
* This one was all about nested Mir mode being back. That's aligned as 
well with the 4.4 android port.

176:
* Fix for the qmlscene crash that we discussed a while back, blocking 
applications that failed on startup to be able to register a surface on 
Mir if they fail early. Note that this doesn't fix the application 
itself failing at startup, but at least, you are able then to relaunch it.
* New Unity8, mostly with more support for the incoming scope preview work.
* New webapps container bug fixes.

This image is getting promoted!

We see that the system settle is higher than what it was in previous 
images. Multiple components seems to sit on top, 
unity-system-compositor, ophono-simd… That can be nested mir related… 
Oliver discussed about it with upstream and a bug 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1279391) was filed. This won't be 
considered as a blocker for now, but we'll keep it closely on our radar 
with upstream's help.

We still have the regular flaky test which seems to be similar than the 
application not starting first (but we don't have the same issue that 
all following tests are failing then). Also, the previously accepted 
unity8 test failure is still around. I see more Unity 8 work getting in 
in the incoming images, let's hope they are going to fix this.

We had some troubles due to Google App Scripts failing and creating 
random issues on the CI Train. We spent quite some time to debug and try 
to workaround it. However, the issue is not present anymore after few 
hours (and this service seems to be known to have some transient 
issues). Everything should be back to normal. We tried to recreate (the 
spreadsheet was reverted) the same state than this morning and let then 
more and more work getting in for the next image… which we are just 
kicking in!

Cheers,
Didier
