Major changes in 0.5.2:
=======================
This is the first release of the unstable 0.5.x series leading up to 0.6.
With this release the API of spice-server is considered stable, but
the network protocol and QXL PCI ABI are still unstable.
The major changes compared to the 0.4 series are:
* New, more efficient network protocol
* Support for offscreen surfaces in guest driver
* New spice-server API
* A marshalling/demarshalling system that isolates the network
protocol parsing from the internal types
* A PCI parsing and validation layer making it easier to
get backwards compatibility, cleaning up the internals ans
makes security review easier.
* WAN support, including lossy compression using jpeg and
zlib compression.
* Easier to build. No more dependencies on forked versions
of pixman and cairo. Separate module spice-protocol containing
headers used when building drivers and qemu.
