This is the alpha for the 1.15 release, containing many bug fixes and a 
few new tests.

Compositor writers take note - wl_subcompositor.get_subsurface is now 
documented to be double-buffered.  It wasn't clearly specified to be so 
before (this change should be non breaking in practice and merely remove 
the opportunity for a render glitch in the compositor.)

New API, wl_display_destroy_clients() has been added to help some 
compositors clean up clients before destroying their display.

wayland-scanner can now generate either public or private symbols, and 
the old command line option "code" will emit a warning.  It also has a 
new --strict option to immediately exit on DTD validation failure.

libwayland-egl is now part of wayland, and will presumably be removed 
from mesa sometime after the 1.15 release.

1.15 is still planned for around April 9th.
