Hi guys,

Could anyone write up a one-liner news item for the xorg-server 1.6 
stabilization with there 2 upgrade guides :


http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.6-upgrade-guide.xml


http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml


I tried figuring out how to write one myself, but failed miserably 
because of the entirely non-intuitive GLEP.


Basically, all stable users should see that news item.

Thanks in advance to the benevolent soul who will write it and commit
it :)

Thanks


Perhaps something simple like this? (HTH):


xorg-server 1.6.

We're pleased to announce the stabilization of xorg-server-1.6. Users 
should review the following two guides before upgrading to 1.6:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml

clarity or accuracy — must be addressed before the news item goes
live."

p...@gentoo.org hasn't been CC:ed as far as I see.


Josh now has commented on it.

May I request a faster commit time since I didn't expect Samuli to 
stabilize everything so quickly?




I'm not a dev; but I strongly agree that you get it out ASAP - I almost
upgraded two days ago :-)

Thank you for this milestone!

"We have enable SSP support by default on this and on newer versions
for arches where it is supported..."

As I read the above quote, 4.4.5 and 4.5.x also have SSP support enabled by
default; is this what was meant?

Thanks Again
