+Snapshot 2.99.907 (2013-12-30)
+==============================
+The highlight here is that things seem to be quietening down on the bug
+reporting front. All is not quiet as you will see below, and maybe it is
+just the holiday season that is approaching*, but there has been a
+remarkable falloff in bug reports. Lets hope this trend holds and we can
+make a stable release shortly!
+
+* This was intended to be sent a couple of weeks ago and the holiday season
+has been very quiet....
+
+Oh, and acceleration support for Intel's next generation of
+integrated processor graphics has landed, codenamed Broadwell.
+
+ * Fix potential X server infinite recursion (crash) from a gen2 bug fix
+   Regression in 2.99.906
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71605
+
+ * Workaround a missing pipeline flush within Ivybridge, that would
+   leave black rectangles randomly over the output
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68410
+
+ * Fix tiled fills. gen2-3 and gen4+ had two different bugs that
+   both broke rendering with small 8x8 patterns in some circumstances
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71260
+
+ * Fix reads from a cropped video image using a packed pixel format.
+
+ * Another clear the clear hint after DRI2 SwapBuffers, like the bug fixed
+   in 2.99.903. Failure to clear the hint would cause read backs of the
+   frontbuffer (Xvnc) to be blank.
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72194
+
+ * Disable VSync on Baytrail
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69869
+
+ * Handle partial uploads with TearFree correctly
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72343
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72430
+
+ * Avoid recusing through DRI event handlers whilst processing TearFree,
+   leading to a double free (and memory corruption)
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72690
+
+ * Hide the gen4 render corruption by crippling the GPU
+   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55500
