Yeah I guess it's not common to send out announcements about libdrm releases, but maybe we should start. Following the X.Org announcement template would be a good way to go I think, and would allow people to see what changes the release includes, etc. Anyway glad it's finally out; that means we can release 2.5.0. /me trolls the bug list to see if there are any last minute blockers. -- Jesse Barnes, Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
