+About libxcb
+============
+
+libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
+replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
+Xlib, including:
+- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
+- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
+- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
+- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
+- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
+
+Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
+requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
+However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
+benefit from a native XCB port.
+
+
+Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,
+at:
+
+ <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB>
+
+Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:
+
+ <mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org>
+ <http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xcb>
+
+You can obtain the latest development versions of XCB using GIT.
