+ <p>We are sad to report that both GSoc projects failed. The
+ <tt>libdevq</tt> project was abandonned as the student
+ disappeared. The kernel project was incomplete because the
+ student could not work for personal reasons. He plans to
+ resume work and complete the task, even though GSoC 2016 is
+ finished.</p>
+
+ <p>The X.org server version 1.18.4 together with updates for
+ the <tt>xf86-video-ati</tt> and <tt>xf86-video-intel</tt> DDX
+ drivers are ready for wider testing and a CFT will be sent out
+ shortly. These updates are required in order to use newer DRM
+ versions.</p>
+
+ <p>The missing functionality from <tt>libdrm</tt> that is
+ needed by the <tt>amdgpu</tt> driver has been added. These
+ chances will be committed to the ports tree shortly after the
+ xorg-server update.</p>
+
+ <p>DRM from Linux 4.8 was ported to the <tt>drm-next</tt>
+ branch. This branch should be used for <tt>radeon</tt> and
+ <tt>amdgpu</tt> cards; for <tt>i915</tt> cards the
+ <tt>drm-next-4.7</tt> should be used, due to instabilities in
+ the intel driver in <tt>drm-next</tt> branch.</p>
+
+ <p>Johannes Lundberg has been working on getting the Wayland
+ enviroment up and running on &os;. The Wayland ports are in
+ a working state except for the Weston compositor.</p>
+
+ <p>The current Weston port (from DragonFlyBSD) might be
+ scrapped and a new port created from scratch based on the
+ upstream source code. With the use of <tt>libinput</tt>,
+ <tt>libudev-devd</tt>, and <tt>epoll-shim</tt>, the diff will
+ not be very large and will be easier to maintain.</p>
+
+ <p>Patches for <tt>wlc</tt> (another Wayland compositor) are
+ being pushed upstream. On the TODO list is refactoring the
+ tty code into selectable backends (linux, &os;, etc), as
+ recommended by the author of <tt>wlc</tt>. For now, it is
+ running on &os; with patches in the ports tree.</p>
