*	We now have resulttool, buildhistory and build-performance all
working with the autobuilder and will be using this as the primary QA
mechanism going forward. More details can be found here:

*	There were some serious usability issues found with multiconfig,
those have been fixed in master and thud.
*	Various recipe upgrades made it in, thanks to all who contributed.
Several recipes also converted to meson including glib-2.0 and gdk-pixbuf.
*	We now need to build M3 as we're past feature freeze point for 2.7.
Right now we're aware of the following things which ideally need to be
resolved first:

*	Bug 13178 "X server and matchbox desktop don't start up properly on
beaglebone" needs to be fixed
*	Find the framebuffer problem with qemuarmv7 and switch to that
*	Several ptest issues would be addressed (missing openssl tests, 3
timeouts)
*	Arm build host issues identified and resolved

*	It's unlikely we'll switch to virtgl by default for 2.7 due to lack
of testing from the community although the base patches for this have
merged.
