+
+Release 1.1 (2007-11-04)
+========================
+
+This release requires xcb-proto 1.1, due to the addition of the
+extension-multiword attribute to the XML schema.
+
+This release contains several important bug fixes, summarized below. It
+also contains a patch much like Novell's libxcb-sloppy-lock.diff.
+Rationale from the commit message follows. The patch and this rationale
+were authored by Jamey Sharp <jamey@minilop.net>, with agreement from
+Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org>.
+
+ I strongly opposed proposals like this one for a long time.
+ Originally I had a very good reason: libX11, when compiled to use
+ XCB, would crash soon after a locking correctness violation, so it
+ was better to have an informative assert failure than a mystifying
+ crash soon after.
+
+ It took some time for me to realize that I'd changed the libX11
+ implementation (for unrelated reasons) so that it could survive most
+ invalid locking situations, as long as it wasn't actually being used
+ from multiple threads concurrently.
+
+ The other thing that has changed is that most of the code with
+ incorrect locking has now been fixed. The value of the assert is
+ accordingly lower.
+
+ However, remaining broken callers do need to be fixed. That's why
+ libXCB will still noisily print a stacktrace (if possible) on each
+ assertion failure, even when assert isn't actually invoked to
+ abort() the program; and that's why aborting is still default. This
+ environment variable is provided only for use as a temporary
+ workaround for broken applications.
+
+Enhancements:
+* Print a backtrace, if possible, on locking assertion failures.
+* Skip abort() on locking assertions if LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK is set.
+* xcb_poll_for_event: Return already-read events before reading again.
+* Output a configuration summary at the end of ./configure.
+
+Bug fixes:
+* Don't hold the xlib-xcb lock while sleeping: that allows deadlock.
+* Allow unix:<screen> style display names again.
+* Bug #9119: test xcb_popcount
+* Fix unit tests for FreeBSD
+* NetBSD doesn't have AI_ADDRCONFIG: use it only if it's available.
+* Require libXau >= 0.99.2; earlier versions have a broken .pc file
+* Use substitition variables in xcb-xinerama.pc.in
+* Update autogen.sh to one that does objdir != srcdir
+* Add tools/* and autogen.sh to EXTRA_DIST.
+* Doxygen can now be fully disabled if desired.
+
+Documentation improvements:
+* Many fixes and updates to the tutorial.
+* Iterators, requests, and replies get partial Doxygen documentation.
+
+
+Release 1.0 (2006-11-23)
+========================
+
+The "Thanksgiving" release: We feel thankful to have it released. Five years
+have passed since XCB's initial commit on September 3rd, 2001:
+ <http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xcb.git;a=commit;h=09e54c4a3c>
+
+* Support IPv6. XCB now supports displays with IPv6 addresses, with or without
+ enclosing square brackets, or with hosts which resolve to IPv6 addresses, by
+ using getaddrinfo instead of gethostbyname, and by including support for
+ authentication for such connections. This allows such displays as "::1:1.1".
+
+* XCB now uses the libpthread-stubs, to properly support optional use of
+ pthreads even on platforms which do not have all the necessary pthread stubs
+ in libc or otherwise available by default.
+
+* Switch from the old AM_PATH_CHECK macro to pkg-config. check 0.9.4 is now
+ required to build XCB's unit tests. The version that we were requiring was
+ not actually new enough to let our unit tests compile, and the AM_PATH_CHECK
+ macro is now considered deprecated. We know that versions of check using
+ pkg-config are new enough to work, and the check dependency was optional
+ anyway, so we've dropped support for older versions.
+
+* Provide a xcb_prefetch_maximum_request_length counterpart to
+ xcb_get_maximum_request_length.
+
+* Fix Bug #5958: zero out padding bytes in requests.
+
+* Change xcb_connect to pass the display number to _xcb_get_auth_info, which
+ passes it to get_authptr. This allows get_authptr to stop hacking the
+ display number out of the sockaddrs of various address families, such as
+ port - X_TCP_PORT, or the number after the last X in the UNIX socket path.
+
+* Remove --with-opt and --with-debug options from configure.ac; configure
+ supports the use of custom CFLAGS, so please use that instead.
+
+* Reove support for the <localfield> tag in protocol descriptions, since they
+ no longer use it, and since new protocol descriptions should not need it
+ either.
+
+* xcb-proto has no libraries or headers, so don't use XCBPROTO_CFLAGS or
+ XCBPROTO_LIBS.
+
+* XCB builds which use xdmcp now include it in Requires.private, to support
+ static linking.
+
+* Replace "long" with uint32_t when used for a 32-bit quantity
+
+* Various enhancements to the generation of documentation with Doxygen:
+ * Check for doxygen in configure.ac
+ * Fix some Doxygen warnings.
+ * Install documentation.
+ * Handle out-of-tree builds, with srcdir != builddir. xcb.doxygen now gets
+ generated from xcb.doxygen.in, so that it can use top_builddir and
+ top_srcdir to find source and to output documentation.
+ * Fill in PROJECT_NUMBER from @VERSION@, now that we have it readily
+ available via autoconf.
