Changes
=======

- Sync with X11R6.8.1

  The X11R6.8.1 release is a security release on top of X11R6.8.0.
  it patches several holes in the X Pixmap library (libXpm).

- fix bug in BigFont extension which caused Xnest to crash if
  IPC was not available (Alexander Gottwald)

- fix bug in Xnest which caused it to crash after the second server
  reset (Alexander Gottwald)

- Removed code which ignored the users geometry settings if -nodecoration
  was supplied. XWin used the whole screen instead (Alexander Gottwald)

- the font-update script will generate encodings.dir in the font dirs

- since xorg-x11-6.8.0.0 font-update is run in the postinstall script 
  to update the list of installed fonts

  you can add extra directories to scan to /etc/X11/font-dirs and
  extra encodings to /etc/X11/font-encodings. Add one entry per line. 
  Everything after the hash sign (#) is ignored.

  By default font-update scans 
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local

  The following extra encodings are processed
    microsoft-cp1250
    microsoft-cp1251
    microsoft-cp1252
    microsoft-cp1253
    microsoft-cp1254
    microsoft-cp1255
    microsoft-cp1256
    microsoft-cp1257
    microsoft-cp1258
