UVT is based heavily on the old cdev-sessions. It uses CUSE/FUSE to
implement virtual terminals in user-space.
This move into a library allows to use it in other projects, too. There is
no reason to limit it to kmscon sessions. In fact, we will remove the
cdev-sessions, soon and make kmscon a stand-alone terminal emulator
without any session capability.
Instead, the uvtd program will provide the VT emulation.
This library is not finished, nor ready for use. However, feel free to
contribute patches so we can eventually release a stable API.

We now provide an experimental pixman backend. It still suffers from the
same problems but that cannot be fixed easily. Check it out if you want
it. Disabled by default, though.

Major overhaul of the build system. This introduces symbol-versioning for
all exported libraries. Please note that none of these libraries is
stable, yet!

We used font-size=15 in the past but changed it long ago. However, the
documentation still used 15 so fix this now.

This new template can be used as replacement for getty@.service. It has
the same semantics and can be used as drop-in replacement. It even uses
getty@.service as fallback if kmscon fails.
See the comments in the files for more information.

We must pass "-p" to make "login" preserve the environment. We make sure
the environment is correctly reset before calling it so it is safe.
Furthermore, this allows us to pass additional environment variables to
the child without having /bin/login reset it.

This unit file is a new replacement for standard systemd-getty files.
Installed into /etc/systemd/system it replaces the standard systemd unit
and spawns kmscon instead of agetty on virtual terminals.

This option uses XDG_SEAT to determine the current seat. If this is NULL,
we fall back to "seat0".

Instead of relying on --switchvt, we should always activate fake-VTs
during startup. Otherwise, we might end up with dead seats as there is no
way to wake up kmscon later.

Add a very basic man-page infrastructure so we can easily add new
docbook-style manpages.
Also add kmscon.1 man-page with a basic overview.

We want only C-source files in ./src and the documents ./docs directory is
meant to contain any other sources.

This almost certainly can be optimized, but we should be able to mask
getty@.service with kmscon@.service.

This is a very basic unit that can start kmscon with a login shell. We may
have to improve it to replace agetty/etc fully, but it is a good start.

This never really worked and was horrible to maintain. We need to find
something else for documentation, but we will probably have to do it with
a separate XML file without any generator.

We didn't use pixman for rendering in kmscon. This documents shows some
code how we could do it but also explains why this would not improve
performance.

This document contains several special Unicode characters which can be

It still used the old name. So convert it to use the more general name as
we are building all documentation into one global document.

This adds gtk-doc documentation builds to kmscon. All documentation is
build in a central place due to gtk-doc restrictions.
