 * New unity landed this week
  * a bunch of bug fixes and the dash has its first release (really early prototype though)!
  * a lot of accessibility improvments as well.
  * we got an intermediate upload to fix an annoying "invisible unclickable window" bug.
  * the places have been rebuilt to drop some packages from the archives, the big come back is for this week release.
  * still some stacking issues (menu disappearing, windows not clickable) in compiz. Apparently, there is a fix proposed, so fortunately, this will be fixed this week.
  * also, some specific issue with nvidia card (black screen) still there, as well as launchers weird behavior in some cases.
 * Next week, on your almost natty alpha2 computer:
  * full release upload planned on Thursday with working places (\o/), miscellaneous improvements and still bug fixes.
  * another "final" upload on Monday evening/Tuesday morning (european time) with crusty fixes and small incremental changes for getting ready for alpha2.
  * a compiz upload which should speed the startup time and fixes some annoying bugs (no ABI break planned).
 * Misc:
  * we know we have a lot of false positives of "your computer can't run unity" because the detection tools take more than 3s to answer on a cold cache (and the timeout was 0.5s, then 1s). For now, I'll upload a gnome-session package with a timeout of 5s for the release. The detection tool loads 15 MiB of libraries which can explain that. Some work on that planned for alpha3.
  * support of multiple fallbacks added to gnome-session. So, if you install unity-2d, the fallback for the unity session is unity-2d instead of gnome-classic without a warning message in that case.
