Release 2.21.12 (2013-07-14)
============================
In this release, we clear up the teething troubles from preserving the KMS
configuration, notably external connections on Haswell and plugging in new
outputs after startup were broken. Besides these regression fixes, there
are a couple of fixes for some long standing issues, such as incorrect
rendering on gen2, an infinite loop with very, very large pixmaps and a
slight improvement to the tempermental gen4.

 * Allow untiled scanouts again (required for large extended desktops on
   gen2 and gen3).
   [Regression from 2.21.11]

 * Use the correct count of the number of dirty damage boxes for the quick
   check on whether the existing damage contains the requested area.
   The danger is that we may get a false result and skip migration and so
   cause pixmap corruption (in the unlikely event that the application
   frequently causes fallbacks).
   [Regression from 2.21.11]
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66430

 * Fix initial connection probing for multi-function encoders, such as the
   external connections on Haswell.
   [Regression from 2.21.11, initial connection probing]
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66488

 * Fix gen2 rendercopy into a8 surfaces, for example, glyph uploads into
   the glyph cache.

 * Fix detection of user overrides for initial connection configuration.
   The code used the xorg-server-1.15 values, having missed the
   introduction of ZoomModes into that release.
   [Regression from 2.21.11, initial connection probing]

 * Always initialise the gamma ramp, even on unconnected CRTCs.
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66563
   [Regression from 2.21.11, initial connection probing]

 * Some more tuning of the gen4 vertex corruption workaround. The root
   cause behind the GPU using incorrect texture coordinates is still
   not solved, but by reducing the maximum number or rectangles in
   flight through the GPU we reduce the likelihood of corruption.

 * Fix compilation with gcc-4.5
   [Regression from 2.21.11]

 * Avoid integer overflow when performing tiled uploads and operations
   on very large (>28k pixels wide or tall pixmaps)
