This is the first release candidate for libX11 1.4.   A final release is
planned to occur around the time of the X Developer Summit in mid-September,
so that it will be available for inclusion in the X11R7.6 katamari.

Thanks to the efforts of Matt Dew, the developer documentation included in
this release has been converted from *roff to DocBook - in order to build
html, postscript, pdf or other output formats, you will now need the xmlto
toolchain instead of the previous groff toolchain.

As previously warned, libX11 1.4 *requires* libxcb.   The Xlib 1.3 branch
continues to support the --without-xcb option for the benefit of any
remaining distributors who do not yet ship XCB in their stable releases.
