[ACTIVITY] Weekly status

[Richard Sandiford]

== This week ==

* Reviewed patches for the release.

* ...then broke the release.  Tried to spin a new one.

* Worked on a "real" fix for bug 850099.  Now in testing.

* Looked more at auto-inc-dec stuff.  Saw a case that didn't behave
  as I expected on the A9.  The A9 TRM doesn't describe what happens
  for post-indexed addressing, so I asked Ramana.  Apparently the
  behaviour is expected.  Once I have more info, I'll try to update
  the patches.

* Worked on neon-highlow-extract and neon-strided-load-extract.
  Posted the three patches upstream.  Nicely, the one I thought
  was going to be the most controversial actually got positive
  feedback from Paolo (who wrote the affected code).
