I'm pleased to announce the 1.4.0 release of xf86-video-amdgpu, the Xorg
driver for AMD Radeon GPUs supported by the amdgpu kernel driver.
This release supports xserver versions 1.13-1.19.
Highlights:
* Clients can now use DRI page flipping even while TearFree is enabled
for any CRTC. This should improve performance of such clients
(including compositing managers) while TearFree is enabled, and avoid
other issues such as tearing on other CRTCs where TearFree isn't
enabled.
* The driver now takes measures to prevent other DRM master processes
(potentially from other local users) from accessing buffers created by
this driver while switched away to a different VT. Other DRM master
processes should only be able to access a single buffer anymore, which
contains only all-black pixels.
* The gamma ramp is now applied to the HW cursor as well, so the HW
cursor doesn't look odd when e.g. using Redshift or similar tools.
Plus other improvements and fixes. Thanks to everybody who contributed
to this release in any way!

Add source drawable parameter to amdgpu_scanout_do_update
Pass extents to amdgpu_scanout_do_update
Always allow Present page flipping with TearFree
Always allow DRI2 page flipping with TearFree
Consolidate amdgpu_scanout_flip_abort/handler helpers
Use xorg_list_append for the DRM event list
Make amdgpu_scanout_do_update take a PixmapPtr instead of a DrawablePtr
Create amdgpu_pixmap_clear helper
Create drmmode_set_mode helper
Create amdgpu_pixmap_get_fb_ptr helper
Create amdgpu_master_screen helper
Make all active CRTCs scan out an all-black framebuffer in LeaveVT
