are only a handful of changes in this dot release, and with the pending
release of 1.13 next month, it's likely that this may be the final scheduled
release from the 1.12 branch; we will likely put out additional releases
from this branch, but they will no longer follow the standard 6-week
development cycle.
This version is identical to the previous release candidate except for
version numbers.

Lots of changes since last pkgsrc version 1.4.x.
Based on patches provided by Hasso Tepper on pkgsrc-users.
Enable dri by default.
NOTE: You must install new versions of all dependencies, old ones
won't work!
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
This long-overdue update brings many improvements:
- Many improvements to EXA
- Input Hotplugging via HAL or dbus (not enabled yet)
- Support for RandR 1.2. Users using a dual-head configuration are
encouraged to see <http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR> for more
information.
- The server now uses the same version of Mesa we have in pkgsrc;
this likely will result in more reliable OpenGL/DRI operation.
I realize that this server is still not the latest release (1.5.0);
upgrading to that version will require an involved mesa update,
libpciaccess, etc. I hope that by the next quarter, that work will be done.
Please file a problem report and/or contact us via the usual means
(mailing lists, etc.) should you encounter any issues.
- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.
