[Pixman] [ANNOUNCE] pixman release 0.21.6 now available

[sandmann at cs.au.dk]

A new pixman release 0.21.6 is now available. This is a development
snapshot leading up to a stable 0.22.0 release.

News:

- Faster box filtered scaling (general, ARM NEON, SSE2) [Siarhei
  Siamashka]

- Faster 90/180/270 degree rotations (general) [Siarhei]

- Faster pixel fetching for a8, a8r8g8b8, and r5g6b5 formats (SSE2)
  [Soren Sandmann]

- Much improved support for trapezoid rendering; new support for
  triangles [Soren]

- Bug fixes and minor improvements [Roland Dudemaine, Siarhei, Soren]

Testing with Microsoft Visual Studio, Sun Studio, and Windows versions
of GCC is especially appreciated since some issues related to those
compilers have been fixed in this release.

Log:
	Rolland Dudemaine (4):
	      test: Fix for mismatched 'fence_malloc' prototype/implementation
	      Correct the initialization of 'max_vx'
	      test: Use the right enum types instead of int to fix warnings
	      Fix "variable was set but never used" warnings
	
	Siarhei Siamashka (13):
	      The code in 'bitmap_addrect' already assumes non-null 'reg->data'
	      test: affine-test updated to stress 90/180/270 degrees rotation more
	      New flags for 90/180/270 rotation
	      C fast paths for a simple 90/270 degrees rotation
	      Use const modifiers for source buffers in nearest scaling fast paths
	      test: Extend scaling-test to support a8/solid mask and ADD operation
	      Support for a8 and solid mask in nearest scaling main loop template
	      Better support for NONE repeat in nearest scaling main loop template
	      ARM: new macro template for using scaled fast paths with a8 mask
	      ARM: NEON optimization for nearest scaled over_8888_8_0565
	      ARM: NEON optimization for nearest scaled over_0565_8_0565
	      SSE2 optimization for nearest scaled over_8888_n_8888
	      Ensure that tests run as the last step of a build for 'make check'
