Hi all,

https://code.launchpad.net/~robertcarr/mir/dpms-support-api/+merge/181884is
landing in order to support power management settings for XMir, This
is
also part of screenblanking (the API/ABI bits at least) on the phone.

Changes to the DisplayConfigurationOutput struct break client ABI.

Cheers, Happy Friday!
Robert!

Hi all
This particular change caused a bit of heartburn in the unity-mir in Touch
effort.
Note there is nothing technically wrong with this code change...
simply, our Integration Team had asked us to hold this out until a green
image was achieved, we made a mistake and landed it.
We are in the process of reverting....just long enough to finish the
unity-mir Touch image creation...once a green image is achieved the code
change/libmirclient3 update/API/ABI break can be remerged.

let me know if you have any questions.

Team,

a more proactive heads up would be appreciated, giving everybody some time
to coordinate - the ABI breakage was probably known ahead of the merge and
as such an early heads up should have been possible.

next time,
thx,
Olli
