[ANNOUNCE] pixman release 0.17.6 now available

[Soeren Sandmann]

A new pixman release 0.17.6 is now available. This is a development
snapshot leading up to a stable 0.18.0 release. 

In this release, asserts are always turned off, so X server crashes in
the region code should be gone (Bug 26314).

News:

32 bit versions of some existing API [Benjamin Otte]

        pixman_fill_boxes32()
        pixman_image_composite_32()

An accessor for the destroy data [Alexendar Larsson]

        pixman_image_get_destroy_data()

Other news in this release [Søren Sandmann]:

        Optimizations for scaled images 
        Some reorganisation of the fast path tables

Plus a bug fix for ARM NEON detection [Siarhei Siamashka]
