[ANNOUNCE] wayland 1.6.92

[Bryce Harrington]

This is the first release candidate for Wayland 1.7.  See the end of
this email for download links.

Quite a number of patches landed this past week since the alpha, largely
cleanup/enhancements to documentation and tests.  Architectural diagrams
in the developer documentation is now mechanically generated with
graphviz - this both improves its look a little and makes it easier to
maintain going forward.  The auto-generated code documentation is
prettier now thanks to polishing work done to the xslt files.  A number
of potential memory and event leaks in tests and clients have been
cleaned up, and leak checking is now enforced by the test suite
infrastructure.  There's a new C++ compilation test; even though Wayland
and Weston are in C, we want to make sure Wayland can be linked with
compositors written in C++ without incurring basic compilation failures.
The protocol documentation content is tightened up:  We've dropped
long-deprecated functions, hidden private functionality like wl_map, and
recategorized functions more accurately with the objects they modify.

Looking forward, rc2 is slated for Feb 6th.  Where we were liberal at
pulling things in for rc1, we'll be more stringent for changes in rc2.
1.7.0 will land Feb 13th, and changes between rc2 and 1.7.0 should only
be release-critical issues (hopefully none!)

I'll provide a more comprehensive rundown of all the changes for 1.7.0
in the 1.7.0 release announcement.
