        Now the Mir source tree contains original code only.
      . Added mir_prompt_session_new_fds_for_prompt_providers_sync API.
      . mirout: Added load and save options for keeping display configs
        on disk.
      . mirout: Added "--" support for applying configuration changes under
        Unity8.
      . Fixed failure of DRM hardware cursor {hide(); show(image);}
      . Added server option: "--cursor software" (MIR_SERVER_CURSOR=software)
      . Added letterboxing/black bars support to the GL renderer in preparation
        for generic output cloning.
      . Added client API for getting the logical size of an output.
      . Migrated MirCookie to use SHA-256.
      . Ensure RealKMSOutputConfiguration stays in sync with actual hardware
        state.
      . Added support for drag-and-drop.
      . Lots of other client API enhancements.
      . Minor clean-ups, optimizations and dead code removal.
      . Added support for building on Ubuntu 17.10 artful.
      . Update example code to use undeprecated API.
      . mesa-kms: Support hardware cursors in hybrid setups.
      . Rework and publish the graphics platform APIs
