Whilst it has been under development for some time, it +has not yet had the same degree of widespread testing of UXA, so tread +lightly. Try it and if you spot anything that can be improved, please do +report a bug. + +Otherwise we have the usual smattering of bug fixes for UXA: + + * Use a white source whilst adding glyphs to the glyph mask + (This fixes blank glyphs if using a font that mixes ARGB and A glyphs.) + + * Avoid fallbacks for glyph-to-dst in e.g. gnome-terminal + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50508 + + * Force unused outputs off when VT switching + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50772 + + * Copy the fbcon across to the Screen pixmap at startup. + (This patch has been kicking around in the distributions for years.) + + * Many missed malloc failures checks and forgotten frees found by a static + analyzer. Thanks Zdenek Kabelac! + + * Leak of the back buffer when terminating an application after pageflipping + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50670 + + * Double check that the pipe is on before emitting a WAIT_ON_EVENT. + In conjunction with an uptodate kernel, this should eliminate any + hangs when changing resolutions or adding/removing displays. + https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50668 + + * Update to new Xorg APIs. Future proofing for the next generation of + hotplug Xorg display servers. + +Many thanks to everyone who has reported a bug and otherwise helped to +improve the driver. + Release 2.19.0 (2012-04-29) =========================== More stability fixes for UXA and support for another variant of IvyBridge. diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 8cbbbc13..90dae7e6 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ # Initialize Autoconf AC_PREREQ([2.60]) AC_INIT([xf86-video-intel], - [2.19.0], + [2.20.0], [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg], [xf86-video-intel]) AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([Makefile.am]) |
