9 So you are implying that 6.8.0-r1 is the same as 6.8.1 or something else?
10 I see info in the ChangeLog suggesting it might have the security fixes
11 merged, but according to Kito, there are PPC/OSX bugfixes w/ the DRI ATi
12 drivers also:

16 Are *those* fixes also present? ChangeLog doesn't suggest either way on
17 non-security bugfixes.
