This release fixes the --enable-thread-safety-constructor option to the
configure script to work as intended. In the previous release, the changes
for this option may not have been enabled when the option was not specified
or when the --enable option was specified.
While we have enabled it by default, believing that doing so will reduce
the number of bugs users encounter running libX11 clients, in some cases
it may expose bugs in which clients had previously gotten away with calling
libX11 functions while a libX11 lock is already held, and thus now deadlock,
as discussed in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues/157 .

* The highlight of this release is that we now try to initialize
thread safety ourselves, rather than hope the application does it.
This should resolve a number of long-standing bugs with the libxcb
integration, since the socket handoff mechanism essentially has to
be thread-safe.

* This release of libX11 corrects a packaging problem in 1.7.3
which caused the m4 files needed for autoreconf to not be
included in the tarballs.
* As a bonus, this release also includes one tiny typo fix in the
XIM specs.

* libX11 version 1.7.0 includes a new API, hence the change from
the 1.6 series to 1.7:
XSetIOErrorExitHandler which provides a mechanism for applications
to recover from I/O error conditions instead of being forced to
exit. Thanks to Carlos Garnacho for this.
* This release includes a bunch of bug fixes, some which have been
pending for over three years:
+ A bunch of nls cleanups to remove obsolete entries and clean up
formatting of the ist. Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for these.
+ Warning fixes and other cleanups across a huge swath of the
library. Thanks to Alan Coopersmith for these.
+ Memory allocation bugs, including leaks and use after free in the
locale code. Thanks to Krzesimir Nowak, Jacek Caban and Vittorio
Zecca for these.
+ Thread safety fixes in the locale code. Thanks to Jacek Caban for
these.
+ poll_for_response race condition fix. Thanks to Frediano Ziglio for
the bulk of this effort, and to Peter Hutterer for careful review
and improvements.
* Version 1.7.0 includes a couple of new locales:
ia and ie locales. Thanks to Carmina16 for these.
* There are also numerous compose entries added, including:
+ |^ or ^| for ↑, |v or v| for ↓, ~~ for ≈. Thanks to Antti
Savolainen for this.
+ Allowing use of 'v' for caron, in addition to 'c', so things like
vC for Č, vc for č. Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for this.
+ Compose sequences LT, lt for '<', and GT, gt for '>' for keyboards
where those are difficult to access. Thanks to Jonathan Belsewir
for this.

- Update to version 1.6.3:
This release of libX11 looks bigger than it is, due to a lot of spec/doc
cleanup work that doesn't affect the code itself. There is still a good

additions, including new UTF-8 compose sequences for:
+ <Multi_key> <R> <equal> : "<U+20B9>" U20b9 # INDIAN RUPEE SIGN
+ <Multi_key> <S> <semicolon> : "Ș" U0218 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH COMMA BELOW
+ <Multi_key> <s> <semicolon> : "ș" U0219 # LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH COMMA BELOW
+ <Multi_key> <T> <semicolon> : "Ț" U021A # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW
+ <Multi_key> <t> <semicolon> : "ț" U021B # LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW
+ <Multi_key> <F> <U> : "<U+1F595>" U1F595 # REVERSED HAND WITH MIDDLE FINGER EXTENDED
+ <Multi_key> <L> <L> <A> <P> : "<U+1F596>" U1F596 # RAISED HAND WITH PART BETWEEN MIDDLE AND RING FINGERS

LOL. And still the files will be in the source tarballs and I'm going to receive bug reports from legal department due to this. This would be a step back. Better let the build fail as before
You are right, my bad. Repacked it just for you ;-) and removed the mentioned lines again. But no need to LOL that hard :P
