This Week In Servo 49

2016-02-01 What's up with Servo for the week of 25 Jan 2016 - 01 Feb 2016

In the last week, we landed 87 PRs in the Servo organization’s repositories.

Mátyás Mustoha has been doing awesome work bringing fixes and stability to our cross-compilation to both AArch64 and ARM 32-bit. He has a nightly build that runs here, which we hope to integrate into our own CI systems. Thanks for your great work improving the experience targeting those platforms!
