Features Added/Enhanced

Features Removed

TODO
These have been discussed, but are not yet integrated to the source repos, and may or may not make the release:
- XWayland integration
- RandR extension 1.4
- Video driver hotplugging
- Add xf86-video-nested, xf86-video-modesetting to the katamari driver set
- Replace Xephyr, Xvfb, Xnest, Xfake, etc. with Xorg using xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested
Documentation: Further integration across doc sets. Docs from Book Sprint.
Referee DoubleBuffer vs. libfb/Composite
Add Solaris Trusted Extensions security module which uses XACE (AlanCoopersmith).
There are also a number of items on the ToDo list waiting for someone to pick up the work, but those are less likely to make the release without anyone actively working on them.
Schedule
- TBD
