Hello everyone,

A very busy landing day today - and it's still ongoing!
Most of the newly released packages were - as usual - fixes, with many
changes backported from vivid to ubuntu-rtm. We had a new Unity8
published in 14.09, same for a new ubuntu-keyboard (which should fix
some autopilot test cases depending on specific language layouts). But
most importantly today a new gallery-app was also signed-off for
ubuntu-rtm as well. This upload is a sync from vivid, fully packed with
many upstream changes. It also fixes a recently introduced
thumbnailer-caused regression [1] which made the overall gallery-app
experience a bit terrible.

There are still many critical bugs open in the nearing milestone [2],
but most of them have fixes in the works. Let's make sure those are
fixed by the end of this week at best.

Tomorrow QA will pick up the morning ubuntu-rtm image and begin
preliminary delta testing, checking if the current images have any
blocking regressions present. This all is done in preparation for our
next weeks milestone. Please note that because of this, silo sign-off
might take a bit longer than usual (due to some QA engineers being busy
with image testing).

We will get back to working on overall vivid quality after the nearest
milestone - it's been a while since the last devel promotion. We were
supposed to pick it up some time ago already but there is still too much
to do on the ubuntu-rtm front.

One last information: we currently seem to have problems running the
ubuntu emulator on vivid desktops [3]. The bug is in proper hands but it
might still take some time to get it fixed - please be patient!
