1.16.017 Jul 2014 16:29
major feature:
This releease integrates Glamor, the GL-based X acceleration subsystem which offers reasonable performance and avoids software rendering fallbacks most of the time.
It also ships with XWayland, which is a X server integrated into a Wayland window system (that in turn uses Glamor for rendering).
Systemd integration improves launching, management and improves boot performance and a bit reliability.
Thousands of compiler warnings were eliminated.
Glamor also works for Xephyr, the X-on-X implementation supposed to become the primary development target for the 2D acceleration subsystem.
Better Non-PCI device support for unenumerated graphics devices for seamless autoconfiguration.
