[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-intel 2.21.7

Tue May 21 03:07:53 PDT 2013

Release 2.21.7 (2013-05-21)
===========================
A couple of weeks turned into a month and a couple of weeks... Amidst
the usual bug fixes, we have added the complete set of Haswell PCI IDs -
hopefully future proofing ourselves against being surprised by new
products. We can also now use the correct term for the top of the range
Haswell variants, GT3.

 * Fix several assertion failures hit by Jiri Slaby.

 * Allow XvMC to also target overlay/sprite planes.

 * Throw in a paranoid MI_FLUSH between BLT and RENDER operations on
   Ironlake.
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1168066

 * Prevent reuse of old framebuffers after a resize.
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1157678

 * Fix compilation with --enable-valgrind and no --enable-debug

 * Improve partial migration of render sources.

 * Fix origin of trapezoids.
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1178020

 * Introduce copy-on-write support for cloning pixmaps. The ultimate
   goal here is to efficiently support the TearFree mode of operation,
   but this provides immediate benefits with firefox - most importantly
   because of the inefficient way it now implements scrolling.
