Hey,

landing team continue to be hard at work and juggle with vUDS at the 
same time!

We got one image promoted #229, let's celebrate that first!
2 more images were produced and some regressions are tracked. Another 
issue discussed on the mailing list and on IRC about some click 
applications not starting is also under work (but current highlights are 
showing up that the issue isn't due to recent images).

#230:
- this one contains a new Mir stack, with screencasting support and some 
performance improvements
- fix delay when enabling/disabling speaker mode during a voice call on mako
- some location-service code rewrite and improvements
- new clock and weather app with alarm fixes and AP tests fixes.

-> on that image, all tests (but the Qt5.0 v8 crash making some random 
tests failing) are passing now, thanks to clock and weather fix. \o/ 
This is a huge achievement as it means that once we get Qt 5.2 in, we 
should be back at 100% AP tests passing.
However, this image introduced a crash on every test which doesn't seem 
to directly impact the user experience (as it's when unity8 is 
stopping). So, if you look at the dashboard, don't be afraid by the 
number of crashes :)

This crash has been investigated and Gerry has a fix in unity-mir for it.

#231 (kicked early in the EU day):
- this one got the revert of revert of autopilot + some new fixes.
- the new ground for the new icon theme support has been introduced (not 
active yet)
- unity-mir and unity-system-compositor contains multiple bug fixes 
(however, this predate the crash fix we talked earlier).

-> The tests are getting similar results than the previous image.
However, it seems that unity8 has 2 new failures and system-settings 3 
news. This was due to the new autopilot version. We found as well that 
their pre-release testing job didn't update to latest autopilot for 
upstream, so results on their side was good. A fix is on the way from 
Thomi and will land ASAP.

A new click landing is going to happen to fix the "can't launch 
application" issue which appeared to be random (in fact, you're impacted 
if you updated your click applications manually). We are getting as well 
the unity-mir crash fix for unity8 on stop.

We'll resume normal landings after getting an image with those 3 fixes 
built:
- autopilot
- click
- unity-mir
And kick a new image. Nothing risky should enter in between.

Then, we'll continue juggling with the Qt 5.2 update to let some 
landings to happen. Just don't go too crazy as that means a lot of extra 
work on our side :)

Cheers,
Didier
