This release adds support for variable-sized lists of FDs (e.g. sized
by a field in the request/event), as well as several other cleanups and
fixes in the core code.

DRI3 has been bumped to v1.2, using the new support to support
multi-planar buffers and DRM modifiers.

Present has also been bumped to v1.2, adding a new token for the server
to indicate to the client that it should reallocate its buffers.

RandR has been updated to 1.6, adding support for DRM leases to allow
clients to directly control outputs.

Hi Uli,
Hi Daniel,
Now that the changes for RandR 1.6, DRI3 v1.2 and Present v1.2 have all
landed, we would like to roll a release so we can begin using these from
Mesa with proper dependencies.
Heh. Why me?

Okay, I did all releases since 2012, but that only happened because we
needed a release, but no one wanted to actually "do it". I am in no way
any special, nor do I have any decision powers on this.

So since we apparently have a volunteer who wants to do a release (you),
great, I don't have to do it. :-P

The instructions on how to do this is in the wiki:
https://xcb.freedesktop.org/ReleasingXcb/
Do you think that's a good idea?
I don't know. I think the last releases always were done because there
was new stuff (bugfixes or features) we wanted to get out. My approach
always was to announce on the mailing list that I will do the release on
date XXXX if no one does one before, then wait for a couple of weeks
until date XXXX and do the release.

That's about all the information that I can come up with right now.

Thanks for doing a new xcb release & cheers,
Uli
