[ANNOUNCE] libXcm-0.2.6

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

This is the first release of libXcm a colour management library for the X 
Window System. The library communicates X colour regions between 
server and clients, which is described in the included net-color spec.

The core was developed as a OpenICC project by Tomas Carnecky and is 
currently maintained by Kai-Uwe Behrmann.

The library is used by colour_desktop a compiz plugin for full 
screen colour correction in hardware. libXcm allows the plugin to support 
multi monitor and multiple regions per window.

Tomas Carnecky (41):
         Initial import.
         Better visualization of the color transformation.
         Use the compiz fragment API
         Use stencil buffer instead of scissors. This fixes the problem with the wobbly plugin.
         Using dynamic rectangles now. Added simple client that shows communication between application and compositing manager.
         Fix potential crash
         Fetch all regions from the window property and use all of those.
         addDataOpToFunctionData() already supports vararg
         The sample clients need xfixes libs and cflags
         Fix memory leak when fetching the window regions
         Add the XColor header.
         Use the _NET_COLOR_PROFILES to store profiles in the root window.
         Use XColorRegion to communicate the window regions.
         Changed meaning of _NET_COLOR_MANAGEMENT. Now used to activate or deactivate parts of the region stack.
         client: Upload profile into the root window.
         Change pluginDrawWindow() to use the local region stack.
         Change pluginDrawWindowTexture() to use the local region stack.
         Remove debugging fprintf().
         Add preliminary XRandR output support.
         Fix handling of privates and allow objects to fail initialization.
         Listen to XRandR events and update outputs accordingly.
         Use the correct XRandR output property name.
         Don't crash if something goes wrong inside lcms.
         Let the client decide to which output device the colors should be converted.
         Add compiz plugin and net-color documentation
         Add comments to functions and code.
         Clarify the XColorProfile format.
         Xcolor: client-side API for managing profiles and regions.
         Reorganize files, clean up Makefile, swith the compiz plugin to the new Xcolor API
         Add a define that can be used to enable debugging output.
         Big reorganization of internal structures in the compiz plugin.
         Fix deletition of profiles.
         Replace UUID with MD5, as suggested by Kai-Uwe.
         Add some comments to the internal structures.
         client: Change target output at keypress.
         Replaced printf() with compLogMessage().
         Add function descriptions to the Xcolor header.
         Add a function for activating stack regions.
         Don't create the shader for each region separately.
         Increase the size of the color-managed region in the sample client.
         Add Xinerama screen detection to the sample client.
