[ Alexandros Frantzis ]
* New upstream release 0.17.0 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.17.0)
  - ABI summary: Only servers and graphics drivers need rebuilding;
    . Mirclient ABI unchanged at 9
    . Mirserver ABI bumped to 35
    . Mircommon ABI unchanged at 5
    . Mirplatform ABI bumped to 11
    . Mirprotobuf ABI bumped to 3
    . Mirplatformgraphics ABI bumped to 6
    . Mirclientplatform ABI unchanged at 3
  - Enhancements:
    . Introduce libmircookie, a simple mechanism for a group of cooperating
      processes to hand out and verify difficult-to-forge timestamps to
      untrusted 3rd parties.
    . More refactorings to support renderers other than GL.
    . Add MirBlob to the client API - a tool for serializing and
      deserializing data.
    . Introduce a libinput based input platform, not yet used by default.
    . Provide a mechanism for the shell to send events on surface
      construction.
    . Provide mir::shell::DisplayConfigurationController allowing shells
      to correctly change the display configuration, notifying clients
      as appropriate.
    . New DSO versioning guide.
    . Send events pertaining to the output a surface is currently on (dpi,
      form factor, scale) to clients.
  - Bug fixes:
    . [enhancement] XMir specific documentation should live in its own
      subsection (LP: #1200114)
    . Nested servers need cursor support (LP: #1289072)
    . Mir cursor is missing/invisible until the client sets it multiple
      times (LP: #1308133)
    . [regression] Fullscreen software surfaces (like Xmir -sw) can crash
      the Mir server (LP: #1493721)
    . [usc] Mir gives up and shuts down due to input with multimonitor qtmir
      (std::exception::what: Failure sending input event) (LP: #1496069)
    . Mouse cursor disappears upon entering the surface area of a nested
      client (LP: #1496849)
    . [android] input is not dispatched when attaching an external monitor
      (LP: #1498045)
    . [android] input coordinates are scaled incorrectly when an external
      display is connected (LP: #1498540)
    . [android] std::exception::what: error during hwc set() when unplugging
      external monitor (LP: #1498550)
    . tests do not compile without precompiled headers (LP: #1498829)
    . [android] std::exception::what: Failed to monitor fd: Operation not
      permitted when unplugging external display in a nested configuration
      (LP: #1499042)
    . Mir suddenly no longer builds since 'mesa (11.0.0-1ubuntu1) wily':
      /usr/include/EGL/eglplatform.h:100:35: fatal error:
      android/native_window.h: No such file or directory (LP: #1499134)
    . [android] various crashes when unplugging external display on a
      nested configuration (LP: #1501927)
    . Cursor becomes visible by itself when an external monitor is connected
      (LP: #1502200)
    . mesa FTBFS due to missing Requires in mirclient (LP: #1503450)
