Release 2.8.0 (2009-08-25)
===========================We are pleased to announce this 2.8.1 maintenance
release of the
xf86-video-intel driver. This snapshot contains a few, hand-picked
fixes since the 2.8.0 release. Several of the bugs fixed can manifest
themselves as "random" crashing or hanging of the GPU, (so effectively
the interactive session). We recommend that all users/distributors of
2.8.0 upgrade to 2.8.1.

New fixes in 2.8.1 compared to 2.8.0
===================================Bug numbers are relative to
bugs.freedesktop.org unless otherwise
mentioned.
* Allow DRM mode setting to include transformations (also requires a
fix in the X server---available in xserver 1.6.3)
* Align tiled pixmap height so we don't address beyond the end of our
buffers.
* Align the height of untiled pixmaps to 2 lines as well.
* Replace existing EDID property blob with new one
* Only align DRI2 tiled pixmaps to the DRI2 tiled pixmap alignment
requirement (fixes bug #21387).
* Calculate the DVO relative offset in LVDS data entry to get the DVO
timing (fixes bug #22787 and Debian bug #538148).
* Fix sampler indexes on i965 planar video, (fixes bugs #22895 and
#19856).
