[ANNOUNCE] xorg-server 1.8.99.901

The X.org X server version 1.9 RC1 (1.8.99.901) is now available. While
not including huge amounts of new functionality, this release has seen a
number of longstanding development itches cleaned up with the goal of
making the code cleaner and easier to understand.

Thanks to all taking part in development and review of this release; at
this point, we're in 'stabilization mode', limiting patches to those
which fix regressions from previous releases or those which fix other
bugs.

I'd like to track bug fixing through the X server bugzilla system,
adding bugs to the tracker bug (27592) and submitting patches
referencing which bugs are fixed in the commit message. Once a patch
hits master, please mark the bug as 'closed'.

Sorry for the RC1 delay; I couldn't build the intel video driver until
yesterday when Chris Wilson committed the necessary patch to use the X
server list.h header file. I don't think we need to adjust the final
release date, and I'll try to get RCs released frequently until we get
there.
