* 3 days off

== Progress == * Validation: - fixed ABE master and stable branches to use 'ssh -t' instead of 'ssh -tt' when cross-testing - trying to assert master vs stable before the array branch merge, noticed differences on armv8l - created linaro-local/stable Dejagnu branch (currently a copy of master). Prepared ABE config patches to use it.

* GCC - infrastructure problems (ST compute farm), leading to a lot of noise in the validations (and wrong regression reports upstream) - enabled gcc-6-branch monitoring - added GCC-6 tab to the backports spreadsheet

* Support - Windows-hosted toolchain crashes: it seems the builders we use to make the release run Jessie and not Trusty. Tried to rebuild a toolchain in a Jessie chroot, but the script failed (works under Trusty)

* Misc (conf-calls, meetings, emails, ...)

== Next == * Validation - check that using linaro-local/stable Dejagnu branch works well - create validation reference points before array branch merge - understand/fix armv8l validation differences between master/stable ABE branches

* GCC - trunk monitoring, report regressions if needed - more intrinsics tests

* Support - Windows-hosted toolchain bug

* Snapshots - prepare a few backports for our gcc-5 branch

* Cortex-strings update
