[ANNOUNCE] xcb-util 0.3.8

[Jeremy Huddleston]

It looks like the intention was to merge them all into one file, but there are still missing symbols from the old -aux, -atom, -event that are not in the new lib (some of which were mentioned in the ChangeLog, others which weren't)

So, do I need to ship two versions of xcb-util to customers, or is this going to be reversed to fix binary compatibility?
