 '''Important change''':

 Note that if the new '''linux 4.1''' vmmouse functionality is used, the
 user-space xf86-input-vmmouse driver '''can be skipped'''. Distros that
 want
 to keep the xf86-input-vmmouse driver as a backup should '''not use any
 version prior to 13.0.99''' since those versions would compete with the
 in-kernel vmmouse driver for mouse input.

 This release is intended for general distro inclusion, testing has been
 performed on various linux distros, FreeBSD 10.1 and Solaris 11.2.

 This release contains a number of build fixes and also changes to deal
 with improved vmmouse port security and backoff if a vmmouse kernel
 module is encountered. An additional dependency on libudev is introduced
 on linux.

 Note that if the new linux 4.1 vmmouse functionality is used, the
 user-space xf86-input-vmmouse driver can be skipped. Distros that want
 to keep the xf86-input-vmmouse driver as a backup should *not* use any
 version prior to 13.0.99 since those versions would compete with the
 in-kernel vmmouse driver for mouse input.

 13.1.0:
       Bump version number for release

 13.0.99:

       Autoconf: remove AC_PROG_CC which overrides AC_PROG_CC_C99 from

       Handle DEVICE_ABORT on ABI 19.1
       Don't de-reference pMse if it hasn't been initialised yet

       vmmouse_client.h: Include xorg-server.h before xf86_OSproc.h

       Back off if we detect a vmmouse kernel driver v3
       vmmouse: Run vmmouse_detect as an io privileged process
