xorg-server 21.1.0 released
This is the final release of X server 21.1. There has been just one fix since the second RC and at this time there are no known regressions since the 1.20 release series. I expect that increased usage after the final release may still uncover something interesting, so there is a potential for subsequent 21.1.1 patch being released in the coming weeks rather than after the usual interval of several months. Notable changes since 1.20 include: - The meson support is now fully mature. While autotools support will still be kept for this release series, it will be dropped afterwards. - Glamor support for Xvfb. - Variable refresh rate support in the modesetting driver. - XInput 2.4 support which adds touchpad gestures. - DMX DDX has been removed. - X server now correctly reports display DPI in more cases. This may affect rendering of client applications that have their own workarounds for hi-DPI screens. - A large number of small features and various bug fixes. Note that since 21.1 series XWayland is released separately and thus this release does not include it.
