Primarily a few typos and misc minor fixes, the most visible change to distributions is that we now ship an xz tarball instead of bz2. Due to a global shortage of flying cars, you will have to accept that as your "welcome to the future" present. If you don't like the future (and who can blame you!), we still have gz tarballs, simply because I didn't realize we still generated those until I typed out this email. While I've been applying this change across the Xorg modules, I've followed the lead of those who came before me, and just replaced "dist-bz2" with "dist-xz". To get rid of the gzip files we'd also have to add "no-dist-gzip" to our AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE() options. Since it's been a decade since GNOME switched to exclusively releasing xz tarballs [1], I would expect there being no major headaches to us doing the same now, we just hadn't thought much about it. Is this something we want to do? Does anyone have a reason we shouldn't stop making .gz files? (It looks like xwayland is already doing xz-only releases now.)
