=== Summary ===
Over the last couple of years it has become almost a tradition to have a Gluon sprint prior to Qt Developer Days in Munich. This year was not different. Through much effort, a sprint was pulled together for the Gluon team, in part commemorating the first of these sprints two years ago, where the Gluon Vision was first laid down, and in part to assist in the work towards the next release.

=== Achievements ===
* The GluonSmarts game AI system was merged in. Now Gluon has a powerful game AI system available directly from the Gluon Creator game construction tool.
* The potential of integrating Gluon Player with Telepathy was researched
* Fixed a number of CMake related issues in Gluon's build system
* Discovered a bug that may be responsible for some of the rendering issues on Windows
* New QtOpenAL library, which is a splitting out of GluonAudio into two parts

Summary

Over the last couple of years it has become almost a tradition to have a Gluon sprint prior to Qt Developer Days in Munich. This year was not different. Through much effort, a sprint was pulled together for the Gluon team, in part commemorating the first of these sprints two years ago, where the Gluon Vision was first laid down, and in part to assist in the work towards the next release.
