- Update to version 1.7.0
  * libX11 version 1.7.0 includes a new API, hence the change from
    the 1.6 series to 1.7:
    XSetIOErrorExitHandler which provides a mechanism for applications
    to recover from I/O error conditions instead of being forced to
    exit. Thanks to Carlos Garnacho for this.
  * This release includes a bunch of bug fixes, some which have been
    pending for over three years:
    + A bunch of nls cleanups to remove obsolete entries and clean up
      formatting of the ist. Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for these.
    + Warning fixes and other cleanups across a huge swath of the
      library. Thanks to Alan Coopersmith for these.
    + Memory allocation bugs, including leaks and use after free in the
      locale code. Thanks to Krzesimir Nowak, Jacek Caban and Vittorio
      Zecca for these.
    + Thread safety fixes in the locale code. Thanks to Jacek Caban for
      these.
    + poll_for_response race condition fix. Thanks to Frediano Ziglio for
      the bulk of this effort, and to Peter Hutterer for careful review
      and improvements.
  * Version 1.7.0 includes a couple of new locales:
    ia and ie locales. Thanks to Carmina16 for these.
  * There are also numerous compose entries added, including:
    + |^ or ^| for ↑, |v or v| for ↓, ~~ for ≈. Thanks to Antti
      Savolainen for this.
    + Allowing use of 'v' for caron, in addition to 'c', so things like
      vC for Č, vc for č. Thanks to Benno Schulenberg for this.
    + Compose sequences LT, lt for '<', and GT, gt for '>' for keyboards
      where those are difficult to access. Thanks to Jonathan Belsewir
      for this.
