This is a brown paper bag release fixing a double-free bug in the 7.6.0
release.
I could swear I'd tested this appropriately yesterday, but apparently
not. :(
Michel Dänzer (3):
◦ Post 7.6.0 release version bump
◦ Remove duplicate free(output_ids) call
◦ Set version for 7.6.1 release

[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-ati 7.6.0
Michel Dänzer michel at daenzer.net
Wed Nov 11 20:18:21 PST 2015
The xf86-video-ati 7.6.0 release supports xserver versions 1.8-1.18.
New features in this release:
• DRI3 and Present extension support, allowing more efficient and secure
OpenGL compositing
• Option "TearFree" [0] to eliminate tearing (currently only effective
for non-rotated outputs)
• Option "ShadowPrimary" [0] which may deliver better performance for
some 2D use cases, at the potential expense of other use cases (only
available with glamor)
• DisplayPort 1.2 MST support
• Implemented support for Xorg -background none with glamor and fixed it
to work better with EXA
• The contents of newly allocated buffers are always initialized before
scanout, reducing intermittent artifacts
[0] Enabling Option "TearFree" or Option "ShadowPrimary" currently
disables DRI page flipping.
Plus support for a few more Bonaire and Oland GPUs, and lots of other
small improvements and fixes. Thanks to everybody who contributed to
this release!
