Hello!
This week’s excitement is that we are moving all Android integration and daily builds to Android version 4.0.3. This is going very well. We have found that there are far too many old bug reports that are no longer relevant, so we are busy cleaning up the bug list. Ne next big thing we will be looking at is multimedia acceleration. This is a huge area that involves great variation i technical solutions. Nevertheless it’s important that our evaluation builds are running with realistic configurations, only then can we see and measure the improvements made by the various Linaro working groups. Here’s what happened last week in the Android team:
