    These new files don't do us much good if we don't distribute them in
    our releases.

    Add a NEWS files with release-notes for 2.7.0
    
    It will be nice to have release-notes under revision control, as well
    being able to document issues in an obviously time-sensitive file,
    (as opposed to README where we were documenting some of this previously).

+Release 2.7.0 (2009-04-15)
+--------------------------
+Compared to the 2.6 series, 2.7.0 has a large number of bug fixes, but
+also a few significant features, such as:
+
+        SDVO-TV support, available on ADD2 card (bug#9992) and
+        D945GCLF2 board (bug#17776).
+
+        Basic SDVO-LVDS support
+
+        XV video display without tearing
+	[Though this isn't working for all users yet, see
+	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21076 ]
+
+	Various fixes for UXA, DRI2, and Kernel modesetting.
+
+We encourage users to use kernel modesetting and UXA acceleration with
+this release, which should give the best performance and
+robustness. When KMS is available, UXA is the default acceleration
+used by the driver, (EXA is the default otherwise).
+
+Some of the most notable bugs fixed in 2.7.0 include:
+
+	[GM45 965GM] bad htotal causes panel startup failure

    Clarify that the default acceleration is UXA if KMS is available.
    
    Stale documentation considered harmful of course.
