+- Update to new upstream release 1.7
+* Includes the new version of the unstable xdg-shell v6 protocol.
+* The protocol have gone through extensive changes to how surfaces
+  are created and mapped, and also adds a few features that was
+  not possible before:
+* A client can now specify a minimum and/or maximum window
+  geometry.
+* A client can now in a declarative manner position popup
+  surfaces so that they will be visible to the user, e.g. by
+  having them placed within the shell work area.
+* A client can map a popup without a grab; this intended to be
+  used for relatively positioned child surfaces that should not be
+  automatically dismissed, such as tooltips, and user interface
+  elements like "popovers" in GTK+.
