why didn't we get a news story?

Maybe because Ubuntu news stories usually create more page impressions?
Or may be because of the alleged large userbase of Ubuntu?

AMD VDPAU bugfix also included

There was a bug in the AMD VDPAU driver - it incorrectly reported some video decoding capabilities. VLC (and possibly others) wouldn't use VDPAU for video decoding in that case (althugh mplayer did).

Now that it's fixed, VDPAU video decoding should work fine in VLC (atleast in 2.3).

Related to Mesa 10.0 in Ubuntu 14.04, does anyone know if LLVM 3.4 will make it in at some point? It'd be a shame if Ubuntu's next LTS didn't enable support for RadeonSI by default, and that's somewhat dependent on LLVM 3.4 (when the R600 back-end was enabled by default).
