Snapshot 2.99.915 (2014-09-08)
==============================
A significant change to UXA to enable MST and to keep it working on recent
kernels needs some soaking before a major release, and the usual
plethora of bugfixes. One other feature is the support for hardware
rotations on very recent kernels.

 * Handle rotated scanouts that are all clear correctly. The region to
   update was not being computed correctly, overdrawing the wrong CRTC.
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81820

 * Reset cursor images after rotation and size changes
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81886
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82273
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82337

 * Handle stale DRI2 buffers and Client errors more gracefully

 * Fallback if we fail to render a glyph onto a too-large surface, e.g.
   direct rendering of glyphs onto extended desktops with gen2/gen3.
   https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40949

 * Further work to enable tiled rendering onto large surfaces in
   severely aperture and memory constrained devices (e.g. gen2/gen3)

 * Honour the Primary option from xorg.conf and mark that as the RandR
   primary.
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82193
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82205

 * Fix another Client-Window DRI2 close race
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82979

 * Fix incorrect discarding of GPU damage when copying over the TearFree
   scanout - which caused a flicker in rapidly updated elements (like
   simple video panes).
