The second release candidate for the X.Org X Server 1.7 is now available.
We've had a larger-than-expected number of quite intrusive patches go in, so
there will be at least one more RC before the final release. Expect RC3 in
about a week's time.
I've branched off server-1.7-branch - git master is now unfrozen. Go nuts.
Commits to the 1.7 branch must be nominated on the Server17Branch wiki page
http://www.x.org/wiki/Server17Branch after they have been merged to
master.
The fixes in this RC are all over the place, many of them are build fixes,
compiler warnings, memory leaks, and cleanups. The minimum requirements have
changed for the following modules: xf86driproto, dmxproto, fixesproto.
If you've been running the latest released versions you won't notice the
difference.
Perhaps the most intrusive change is the removal of framebuffer support from
DGA. See the following link for a detailed explanation:

Current blocker bugs:
13932: pointer cannot move across screens in zaphod mode
19470: any X11 client can crash Xvfb
20500: Record extension not sending event
23286: Memory leak caused by 100x100 glyphs
23298: Xserver crash when running x11perf -shmputxy10 test case
23645: Crash uploading multiple glyphs
23755: X does not work on Alpha
23938: keys occasionally get stuck with xorg-server 1.6.99.901
23985: Excessive core motion events for subpixel motions
24011: Excessive enter/leave events
Pick your favourite and fix it. As usual, shortlog is below.
Cheers,
Peter
