* New upstream version.
[ Josh Triplett ]
* No longer installs files to /usr/include/X11, so remove Pre-Depends on
x11-common.
* Update to Standards-Version 3.7.2 (no changes required).
* Point specifically to http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist in copyright file,
rather than http://xcb.freedesktop.org .
* Add debian/watch file.
* Install pkgconfig files to /usr/share/pkgconfig.
* Version Build-Depends on xcb-proto as (>= 0.9.92)
* Change libxcb0{,-dev,-dbg} to libxcb1{,-dev,-dbg} to match soname bump, and
update Depends of other library -dev packages.
* Add debian/control stanzas and debhelper install files for new library
libxcb-xlib0.
* Change libxcb${ext}0{,-dev,-dbg} to libxcb-${ext}0{,-dev,-dbg}, to match
the sonames of the libraries.
* cdbs >= 0.4.40 now builds -dbg packages for each library package, without
requiring DEB_DBG_PACKAGE_libxcb* for each one. Remove assignments to
these variables in debian/rules, and version cdbs Build-Depends accordingly.
* Change -dbg package priorities from optional to extra.

About libxcb
============
libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, slated to
replace the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small library and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: one-to-one mapping between interface and protocol
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.
Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,
at:
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB>
Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:
<mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org>
<http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb>
You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT.
