+      <p>Due to non-&os;-related activities from April to end of June,
+	the project progressed slowly:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Some important problems in TTM were fixed and several others
+	  are being worked out.  Applications affected by these bugs are
+	  non-linear video editing software (which do not use Xv to
+	  preview the video) or "screen" of VirtualBox, for
+	  instance.</li>
+
+	<li>Regarding the locking issue with OpenGL, no work has been
+	  done yet.  <tt>glxgears</tt> works but some modern desktop
+	  environments or WebGL demos hang.  Once TTM bugs described
+	  above are fixed, this is the next target.</li>
+
+	<li>Patches to Mesa to make it build out-of-the-box were
+	  submitted upstream.  As of writing, some were committed but
+	  not all of them.  Additionally, thanks to Jonathan Gray (of
+	  OpenBSD) Mesa should hopefully work on &os;, OpenBSD and other
+	  BSD flavors without additional patches.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+	<p>Several users tested the driver.  Andriy Gapon, Jonathan
+	  Gray, and Mark Kettenis (of OpenBSD) submitted patches.  kyzh
+	  kindly donated several discrete cards from different series.
+	  A big thanks to all those contributors!</p>
+
+	<p>The driver is still not stable enough for a wider call for
+	  testers.</p>
