[Xcb] [ANNOUNCE] xcb-util 0.3.9

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Why did "Do not rely anymore on gperf and m4 following removal of deprecated atoms." do this:

-libxcb_util_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 0:0:0 -no-undefined
+libxcb_util_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:0:0 -no-undefined

I don't see this change requiring a major version bump which should only be done for binary compatibility changes.  Yes, you removed the xcb_atom_get_predefined and xcb_atom_get_name_predefined functions, but not in a binary incompatible way, so you should not have bumped the major version which requires relinking every library and application that links against the library.

How do you want to fix this?  Is this a flag day, and it won't happen again, or do you want to do a quick turn-around release of 0.3.10 and recommend that nobody ship 0.3.9?
