== Description ==

xorg-server 1.11.4 is the fourth maintenance release from the xorg-server-1.11
branch.  Version 1.12 of xorg-server is in convergence, so changes landing in the
stable branch are starting to trickle down.  This release contains fixes for
various crashes and other correctness issues fixed since the previous release.

Since 1.12 is planned to come out soon, I expect only one more release from the 1.11
branch.

== Known Issues ==

Most issues are now being tracked for convergence of the 1.12 server, but they
will be cherry picked into the 1.11 branch if a safe fix becomes available
before 1.12 ships.

  * Partial patch is available... still waiting on complete fix
* #23938: [from 1.6.x] keys occasionally get stuck
* #24094: CTRL-ALT-F1 doesn't switch to VT1 (provides garbage input to terminal instead)
