New requirements compared to 2.10
---------------------------------
* Libdrm >= 2.4.19
Major performance improvements
------------------------------
There have been many performance improvements targeting the
915G/945G/Pineview graphics chipsets (thank to Chris Wilson!). Areas
improved include:
* Major improvements to glyph rendering
* Avoid software fallback when using extended desktops, (for example,
video playback)
* Better performance when using large windows, (for example with
firefox scrolling)
* Avoiding migration ping-pong with gigantic drawing
The following speedups (measured with cairo-perf-trace/cairo-traces)
capture some of the improvements. These were measured on a Pineview
system with a very recent X server, (from git just before 1.8.1). This
compares how this 2.12 release candidate improves performance compared
to 2.11.0:
Trace Speedup
----- -------
ocitysmap 5.41x speedup
firefox-talos-gfx 2.41x speedup
gnome-terminal-vim 2.15x speedup
poppler 1.86x speedup
firefox-planet-gnome 1.43x speedup
midori-zoomed 1.39x speedup
swfdec-giant-steps 1.36x speedup
xfce4-terminal-a1 1.17x speedup
evolution 1.09x speedup
swfdec-youtube 1.06x speedup
Other improvements
------------------
Daniel Vetter improved Xvmc and overlay, adding GEM support.
Bug fixes
---------
There have been many conformance improvements targeting the
915G/945G/Pineview graphics chipsets. The rendercheck test suite
passes once again and there has been a significant reduction in the
number of errors detected by the cairo test suite (notably center
sampling and EXTEND_NONE behaviors are fixed).
Other notable bug fixes include:
* Fix for bug 28446 Garbled fonts with Mathematica
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28446
* Fixes for page-flipping and other DRI2-handling bugs, (Thanks Jesse
Barnes, and Kristian Høgsberg)
* Avoid corruption when using extended desktops, (for example, video
playback)
