[ANNOUNCE] weston 1.7.93

[Bryce Harrington]

This is the second release candidate for the Weston 1.8 series.  
This requires Wayland 1.7.93.

The main change since RC1 is the introduction of 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.

This feature landed late in the week, causing some delay (entirely my
fault).  Also, the example test included with this new feature exposed
several idiosyncracies in Weston that required fixes for the release,
which caused some additional delay, but on the plus side sort of
demonstrated the potential utility of this new functionality.

Other changes in RC2 compared with RC1 include xdg-shell documentation
clarifications, improved handling of GL pixmap color formats, and fixes
to a couple potential crash bugs.

Prior development this cycle focused around upstreaming several pieces
of Collabora's work from this past year, and keeping up with the EGL
modernization.  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.
