The no-bitmaps one was a one-off in at most a couple of snapshots so I'm not sure if it's worth listing in there. If too many irrelevant things are listed then people won't read the file.. The DPI thing maybe changing again as upstream have backed out the auto setting.

X server updated to version 21.1.1
Hi, I've updated the X server in Xenocara to version 21.1.1, together with Freetype (2.11.0) and fontconfig 2.13.94. One of the visible change of this update is that some LCD panels now report their real physical dimensions to the X server, rather than just computing it based on a default resolution of 96dpi. This means that the actual DPI computed from these dimensions will change and impact the size of the displayed fonts. If your fonts have chanded sizes too much after the last snapshot update, you can add xrandr --dpi 96 in your ~/.xsession (or ~/.xinitrc) file to set the resolution manually to the previous default. You can also fiddle with the X resources (~/.Xresources ) to fix font sizes in invidual applications. Older X applications are more likely to mis-behave and need the global dpi fix. -- Matthieu Herrb
