The first stable release of the 1.8 series is now available. Only two
changes over RC2 (Julien's EXTRA_DIST patch and Adam's VNC patch), so you
get the full changelog to 1.8.0 to make this email look more interesting.

If you are upgrading from 1.8.0, please beware that the xorg.conf.d
configuration has changed slightly, the server now supports
$datadir/X11/xorg.conf.d and $sysconfdir/X11/xorg.conf.d for configuration
files. While this should not interfere with your local configuration on an
install from the tarball, distributors should take care of this new
behaviour.
