Hello everyone,

Some good news today. We asked QA to perform exploratory testing for our
latest 14.09-proposed images and with their blessing we decided to
promote it to the ubuntu-rtm/14.09 channel! Please enjoy images #72 for
krillin, #63 for mako and #59 for the emulator - now marked as image #3.

But first, to clear out some misunderstandings: promotion to this
channel doesn't mean that this image is ready for RTM. Our ubuntu-rtm
channels are only used for beta and stabilization purposes - all images
there are, so to say, something like release candidates that still need
much work before they're ready. It's by no means an official final image.

Anyway, it's only been a week since our last promotion, so the number of
changes is not as big as before. Besides: developers are concentrating
on bug fixes and stability. But as a brief list, we can see that this
image offers:
 * User feedback for secure connections
 * Developer mode fixes
 * Bug fixes for dialer, messaging, address-book and ofono
 * New Unity8 and QtMir
 * Many many fixes for other important components

We recommend everyone to switch to the ubuntu-rtm/14.09 channels for
stable and reliable images.

We also attempted to promote an image from the devel-proposed channel
today, with Alan volunteering to perform the necessary exploratory
testing (thank you!). But it seems that local videos can no longer be
launched from the video scope [1]... Before this is fixed, we cannot
consider a new promotion for this channel.

The list:

 => Merge requests present
 -> Still waiting for solid smoketesting results to confirm it is fixed

promotion

** indicator-network crashing during dialer-app and default tests on
smoketesting
