libXi 1.4.99.1

A month late but I just noticed that I never sent an announcement out for
this. libXi is the first snapshot for XI 2.1 support. At this point I
consider it unlikely that any major protocol changes will happen to the
smooth scrolling support. 

If you're working on a toolkit or similar, I highly recommend to start using
the new stuff while we can still change it to fit your expectations better.

Alan Coopersmith (3):
      Move Xinput server API documentation from libXi to xserver
      Fix the FIXME output in man page .TH macros generated by asciidoc
      Make shadow man pages generated by asciidoc work with Solaris man

Gaetan Nadon (13):
      Documentation: add Docbook external references support
      make: remove unneeded AM_V_GEN silent rule directive.
      make: use AM_V_at rather than AM_V_GEN to prefix the mv command
      Install target dbs alongside generated documents
      Install xml versions of specs even if HAVE_XMLTO is false
      docbook.am: global maintenance update - entities, images and olinking
      docbook.am: embed css styles inside the HTML HEAD element
      docs: remove <productnumber> which is not used by default
      docs: use the &fullrelvers; entity to set X11 release information
      inputlib: fix copyright statements
      inputlib: prefix 1.0 with the word Version
      inputlib: restore original title "X Input Device Extension Library"
      specs: refactor and complete copyright legal text

Jeremy Huddleston (1):
      Use AM_CPPFLAGS to use in tree headers before installed headers

libpciaccess 0.12.902


libpciaccess-0.12.902 (0.13 beta2) is released.

This release of libpciaccess includes the new map_legacy APIs required by
the current development version of xorg-server as well as miscelaneous
bug fixes.  0.12.901 (0.13 beta1) was only released as a git tag and no
announcement email nor tarball were prepared for that release.  As such,
the changes listed below are from 0.12.1.

Adam Jackson (3):
      linux: Fix a crash in populate_devices
      Add map_legacy interface
      linux: Implement map_legacy

Alan Coopersmith (2):
      Strip trailing whitespace
      Solaris: Give better error on realloc failure

Chris Wilson (1):
      linux: Only set errno after an error

Gaetan Nadon (1):
      config: comment, minor upgrade, quote and layout configure.ac

Jeremy Huddleston (6):
      Update library version to reflect new API
      configure.ac: Bump version to 0.12.901
      scanpci: Build fix for systems without <err.h>
      linux sysfs: Fix read-write access in map_legacy
      Fix some -Wformat errors in scanpci

inputproto 2.1.99.2

A second snapshot of the future inputprotocol 2.2. No major changes, but one
field was removed from a request, the event numbers have changed and one
field was renamed. Enough to warrant a new version and use the benefits of
pkg-config.

This is still considered unstable and required configure flags and #defines
to build. The protocol may change in incompatible ways before the release.

Chase Douglas (2):
      Fix Xi 2.x version comment in XI2.h
      Revert addition of active_touches to device events

Peter Hutterer (3):
      XI2: swap (Raw)TouchUpdate and (Raw)TouchEnd
      XI2: Use touchid, not touch_id in XIAllowEvents
      inputproto 2.1.99.2

A snapshot for the upcoming libX11 1.5. We've got a few bugfixes, new
compose sequences and a large amount of cleanup in the specs.

xorg-server 1.11.99.1


We discussed doing regular releases from master, and Jeremy suggested
(sensibly) that we just do them whenever there's a stable release. I
completely spaced that plan, nor was I looking at the Google X.org
calendar.

In any case, here's the current state of master. It's missing a pull
request from alanc -- there were a couple of build failures in that
which I've replied back about and I expect that'll be fixed shortly.

For those interested in helping out, here's the 1.12 release tracker.

        https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40982

Anyone interested in helping clean up the release is encouraged to take
a look at the outstanding bugs there.

There's a slight snag about the 1.12 release schedule. I'm going biking
in New Zealand next February, leaving on the 9th and not getting back
until March 1st. So, we can either have the release done before I leave,
or wait until I get back. It seems like the former might work a bit
better, but it would mean pulling the release in to Feb 8th or so.

Anyone have an opinion on the matter?

Aaron Plattner (5):
      xfree86: Bump extension ABI version to 6.0
      fb: Rename wfbTriangles and wfbTrapezoids
      xfree86/modes: Let the driver handle the transform
      xfree86/modes: Make cursor position transform a helper function
