-## GSoC
-
-* Jeremie Koenig released the final [report](http://www.bddebian.com/~hurd-web/user/jkoenig/java/report) on his GSoC project Java on Hurd  along with a summary of his changes and the [challenges](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-01/msg00062.html) he bested.
-
-* Samuel Thibault [merged the slab branch](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-02/msg00010.html), finishing Maksym Planetas GSoC work on a better memory allocator.
-
-## POSIX
-
-* Pino Toscano  improved the POSIX compliance of the Hurd [for nanosleep](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-04/msg00130.html) [ptsname_r](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-04/msg00122.html), 
-[getlogin_r](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-04/msg00121.html), [getgroups](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-04/msg00120.html) and [sendto](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-06/msg00009.html), making it easier to port POSIX programs.
-
-* Samuel Thibault [added Thread Local support (TLS)](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-05/msg00046.html), further improving the standards conformance of the Hurd and paving the way for C++11x.
-
-## barrier of entry
-
-* Samuel Thibault prepared [dde in incubator](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-02/msg00037.html), making about half the Linux network drivers compile on the Hurd. Also he added the [netdde debian package and testing notes](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-02/msg00038.html). 
-
-* Ludovic Courtès added [a continuous testing framework](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00019.html) using a Nix-based GNU QEMU image. Since Hurd can now be built using „Nix“ (german for nothing), how about asking a colleague to revise his image of the Hurd as vaporware and showing him vapor chugging away on a compile of your favorite free program? If you don’t want to install it yourself, you can also check the [automatic tests on hydra](http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/hurd-master) ([background](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-04/msg00104.html)).
-
-* Thomas Schwinge [improved the Hurd build system](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-04/msg00087.html), making it easier to get in: „running autoreconf is all you need“.
-
-* Thomas Schwinge [moved](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00063.html) the translators [cvsfs](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/log/?h=cvsfs/master), [libfuse](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/log/?h=libfuse/master) and [smbfs](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/incubator.git/log/?h=smbfs/master) into the incubator git repository, reducing the barrier of entry to improving them, so integrating cvs and samba in the filesystem and using FUSE translators can be stabilized more easily.
-
-## porting
-
-* Richard Braun [libpcap](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-01/msg00059.html) bringing wireshark and [pcap_inject](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00000.html) for easier network testing.
-
-* Peter O'Gorman [pushed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-02/msg00023.html) the fix from Samuel Thibault to fix libtool on the Hurd. 
-
-* Svante Signell [added](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00060.html) the basics of ADA support by making gnat build. This gives us the option to use provable programs optimized for embedded systems with the Hurd.
-
-* Thomas DiModica [merged](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-06/msg00018.html) the cthreads to pthreads patch to Hurd master and [added a branch for it](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-07/msg00087.html) to make it easier to work on getting Hurd to use the more current pthreads. For details, see Richards report about running [Hurd without dependency on cthreads](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-08/msg00062.html).
-
-* Samuel Thibault [made iconx build](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-06/msg00004.html), which fullfills a requirement of tests for many packages, among them glib.
-
-* Roland McGrath [merged many libc changes](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-05/msg00033.html) for upstream inclusion, reducing the maintenance load for getting recent improvements of libc.
-
-## Core
-
-* Ludovic Courtes [fixed invalid port deallocation in `symlink'](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00013.html) and [made console-run resilient against missing /dev/console](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00002.html), improving the overall reliability of the system.
-
-* Maksym Planeta published some [performance tests of tmpfs](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00040.html), showing a speedup from 22s with ramfs and ext2fs to 16s with tmpfs for apt-get calls. An obvious usecase for tmpfs are [faster Hurd LiveCDs](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00050.html).
-
-* Samuel Thibault [improved debugging in GNU Mach](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00032.html) by making the debugger aware of the difference between kernel space and user space. This should substantially reduce the development time for features in Mach by giving [nicer stack traces](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-03/msg00047.html).
-
-* Richard Braun improved memory mapping [with a red-black tree](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-04/msg00109.html), which should speed up memory access.

-* Richard Braun [added a VM page cache](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-07/msg00031.html) for better response times of the Hurd - along with fixes to bugs in several programs exposed by the increased freedom of the memory allocation of the kernel.

 The **GNU Hurd** is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel.  It is a
