Release announcement at [https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/amd-
gfx/2018-March/019622.html]
I'm pleased to announce the 18.0.0 release of xf86-video-amdgpu, the
Xorg driver for AMD Radeon GPUs supported by the amdgpu kernel driver.
This release supports xserver versions 1.13-1.19. It also works with
xserver 1.20 RC1, so unless something unexpected happens, it should work
with xserver 1.20 as well.
Highlights:
* New year-based versioning scheme
* Page flipping can now be used even when the HW cursor can't be used in
some cases
* Support for 30-bit RGB colour output. Note that gamma correction is
currently not available with 30-bit colour. Also, hardware
acceleration is not available with 30-bit colour with xserver versions
before 1.20.
The year-based versioning is why the major version has jumped so much.
