| Description: | The xcb-util package provides a number of libraries that use the libxcb library, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension libraries. These libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by the Xlib library.
The individual X.Org drivers, previously provided by the xorg-x11-drivers package, are included to allow installation of all drivers at once, without having to track which individual drivers are present on each architecture.
This package also provides Mesa 3D graphics API that is compatible with Open Graphics Library (OpenGL), as well as hardware-accelerated drivers for many popular graphics chips.
The updated xcb-util packages include numerous bug fixes and one enhancement. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Technical Notes for information on the most significant of these changes:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.6_Technical_Notes/xcb-util.html#RHBA-2014-1376
Users of xcb-util, xorg-x11-drivers, and mesa are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.
