[ANNOUNCE] weston 1.8.0

Welcome to the official release of Weston 1.8.

This cycle's development saw the upstreaming of several pieces of
Collabora's work from this past year, keeping up with the EGL
modernization, and the testing framework.  Feature changes include:
repaint scheduling, named outputs, output transformations, EGL
improvements to gl-renderer, surface-shooting API, source clipping and
view scissor in the pixman renderer, ivi shell testing, ivi layout, and
adding Cut/Copy/Paste support to the editor.  Remaining changes are the
usual random assortment of cleanups, fixes, and documentation.

It is now possible to specify an alternate configuration file at run
time, thusly:

	$ weston --config=my-weston.ini

This config file will then be honoured by all programs started by
Weston, such as the panel launcher icons.  This change also makes them
honour the --no-config option.

There is a new "headless rendering" test framework feature.  This allows
test cases to run weston synthetically, and instead of drawing to a
physical monitor, to draw to an artificial monitor that is just an
in-memory bitmap buffer.  This uses the Pixman renderer to create the
screen image, which weston then passes to the client through a
testing-specific screenshot protocol; the test case can then compare the
server's image with known-good reference images to validate the
rendering behavior.  It is hoped this new screenshot-based testing
framework will enable testing that simply could not have been
practically done before.
