More to come, though:
What this release doesn't have, however, is X Input 2 or Multi-Pointer X
even though MPX had entered the master X Server tree nearly a year ago. A
draft of the X Input 2.0 protocol specification is available. These input
features are being held off until X Server 1.7 with X.Org 7.5.
While there are some EXA improvements within X Server 1.6, this release
doesn't have support for the UXA acceleration architecture. This
Intel-spawned 2D acceleration architecture based upon EXA is still living
within the xf86-video-intel driver and hasn't worked its way into the X
Server.
