+	Release 1.12.8 (2012-11-24 Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>)
+	===================================================================
+	Another couple of weeks and a few more bugs have been found and fixed,
+	it is time to push the next point release. Many thanks to everyone who
+	reported their issues and helped us track down the bugs and helped
+	testing the fixes.
+
+	Bug fixes
+	---------
+
+	  Expand the sanity checking for broken combinations of XSendEvent and
+	  ShmCompletionEvent.
+
+	  Notice that "The X.Org Foundation" sometimes also identifies itself
+	  as "The Xorg Foundation".
+
+	  Handle various ages of libXext and its Shm headers.
+
+	  Fix the invalid clipping of the source drawable when using SHM
+	  transport to upload images.
+	  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56547
+
+	  Handle all Type1 postscript operators for better font compatibility.
+	  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56265
+
+	  Fix a couple of memory leaks in Type1 font subsetting
+	  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56566
+
+	  Tighten the evaluation of the start/stop pen vertices, and catch a few
+	  instances where we would use a fan instead of a bevel.
+	  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56432
+
+	  Fix assumption that geometric clipping always succeeds with the
+	  span-compositor.
+	  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56574
+
+	  Fix call to spline intersection when evaluating whether a stoke is
+	  visible.
+
+	  Remember to copy inferior sources when using SHM to readback the
+	  surface for use as a source.
+
+	Complete list of changes since 1.12.6
