- Update to version 19.0.0
* Support for FreeSync variable refresh rate (this also requires the
amdgpu driver from kernel 5.0 or newer, and radeonsi from Mesa 19.0 or
newer).
* Various TearFree related fixes and robustness improvements.
* Support for scanout buffers using DCC colour compression.
* Up to six independent instances per GPU are now supported in "Zaphod"
style multi-head configurations.
* Other improvements and fixes

- Update to version 18.1.0
* This release supports xserver versions 1.13-1.20.
* When using DC as of Linux 4.17:
- Support advanced colour management functionality.
- Support gamma correction and X11 colormaps when Xorg runs at depth
30 as well.
* Support for leasing RandR outputs to clients.
* Various robustness fixes for TearFree. In particular, fixed several
cases in which disabling TearFree at runtime would result in the Xorg
process freezing or crashing.
* Fixed some m4 related build issues with older versions of autotools.

- Update to version 18.0.1
* This release supports xserver versions 1.13-1.19. It also works
with xserver 1.20 RC1, so unless something unexpected happens,
it should work with xserver 1.20 as well.
This is a bug-fix release addressing issues in 18.0.0. While
those issues shouldn't affect most users, I recommend that all
users of 18.0.0 update to 18.0.1.
+ The Xorg process could enter an infinite loop after a server
reset (in configurations where Xorg doesn't terminate when
the last client disconnects)
+ The Xorg process could crash when multiple primary screens
are configured in xorg.conf.
+ TearFree could trigger debugging messages in the pixman
library

- Update to version 18.0.0
"I'm pleased to announce the 18.0.0 release of xf86-video-amdgpu, the
Xorg driver for AMD Radeon GPUs supported by the amdgpu kernel driver.
This release supports xserver versions 1.13-1.19. It also works with
xserver 1.20 RC1, so unless something unexpected happens, it should work
with xserver 1.20 as well.
Highlights:
* New year-based versioning scheme
* Page flipping can now be used even when the HW cursor can't be used in
some cases
* Support for 30-bit RGB colour output. Note that gamma correction is
currently not available with 30-bit colour. Also, hardware
acceleration is not available with 30-bit colour with xserver versions
before 1.20.
Plus other improvements and fixes. Thanks to everybody who contributed
to this release in any way!

- Update to version 1.4.0
* Clients can now use DRI page flipping even while TearFree is enabled
for any CRTC. This should improve performance of such clients
(including compositing managers) while TearFree is enabled, and avoid
other issues such as tearing on other CRTCs where TearFree isn't
enabled.
* The driver now takes measures to prevent other DRM master processes
(potentially from other local users) from accessing buffers created by
this driver while switched away to a different VT. Other DRM master
processes should only be able to access a single buffer anymore, which
contains only all-black pixels.
* The gamma ramp is now applied to the HW cursor as well, so the HW
cursor doesn't look odd when e.g. using Redshift or similar tools.
* Plus other improvements and fixes. Thanks to everybody who contributed
to this release in any way!
