Work-in-progress release notes for the next release (which will be 2.10.0)
==========================================================================
New requirements of 2.10 compared to 2.9
----------------------------------------
* Linux kernel with kernel-modesetting (KMS)
All user-modesetting code has now been removed from the driver.
We highly recommend kernel version 2.6.32 or later.
* Libdrm >= 2.4.16
New features in 2.10 compared to 2.9
------------------------------------
* New driver debugging options available in xorg.conf
(DebugFlushBatches, DebugFlushCaches, DebugWait). See "man intel"
for more details.
* Video overlay support with KMS. This currently requires Linux
2.6.33, but a backport to 2.6.32 is available here:

Notable fixes in 2.10 compared to 2.9

width/height, (crash at login when using compiz).

* Fix to support larger extended desktops, (such as a 2560x1600 plus a
1920x1200 monitor).

images).

release notes.
Snapshot 2.9.99.902 (2009-12-10)
================================
This is the second release candidate in preparation for the upcoming
2.10.0 release. We will appreciate any feedback we can get from
testing of this snapshot to improve the 2.10.0 release.
Compared to the previous snapshot, this snapshot now correctly
verifies that libdrm 2.4.16 (or newer) is available. The previous
snapshot also required libdrm 2.4.16 for correct functionality, but
neglected to notify the user of this at configure, compile, or install
time and would instead simply fail to run.
Snapshot 2.9.99.901 (2009-11-30)
