Announce: Xnest release 24.2.0 -- adding syslog support

["Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult" <info%metux.net@localhost>]

Hello friends,


I'd like to announce release of the nesting Xserver - Xnest 24.2.0

Besides a bunch of little things (eg. Doug Brown's DRI crash fix and
now correctly announcing all pixmap formats), the most notable change
is syslog support:

It can be activated by adding "-syslogverbosity" command line arg, which
is working similar to -logverbosity - default is 0 (silent).
The syslog ident defaults to the executable name, but can be changed
by setting SYSLOG_IDENT environment variable.

The Xnest 24.2 release/maintenance branch can be found here:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/metux/xserver/-/commits/xlibre/xnest/24.2
(it will receive only fixes - new features go to new releases only)

Current tag: xnest-24.1.0
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/metux/xserver/-/commits/xnest-24.2.0

Note: as always, this branch contains the *whole* xorg tree, which
can build all the other DDX'es, too - just not enabled by default.
