Due to the massive amount of changes that went into GLX, there are bound to be a few regressions to have fallen through the cracks, but there are none known at this time.  A special thanks to everyone who suffered through testing GLX during the beta.  I really appreciate your feedback and testing.

Yeah, I disabled the share/doc documentation because it frequently fails to generate and halts the build.  All of that documentation is freely available online anyway.  Unfortunately, disabling that had the undesired side effect of removing the fontconfig man pages.  Those will be back on 2.7.1
