android platform does not reset the compositionType to HWC_FRAMEBUFFER before prepare() on every frame

[Kevin DuBois]

This came out in some of my testing where we transition from overlay to fallback rendering (and vice versa), but we should be resetting the:

hwc_layer_1_t::compositionType

field to HWC_FRAMEBUFFER before we call prepare(), because we always have HWC_GEOMETRY_CHANGED set.
This isn't causing us any problems in unity/demo shells because they aren't using overlays yet. It was causing some problems as I tried different overlay scenarios.

Fix committed into lp:mir/devel at revision 1594, scheduled for release in mir, milestone Unknown

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package mir - 0.2.0+14.10.20140605-0ubuntu1

---------------
mir (0.2.0+14.10.20140605-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  [ Daniel van Vugt ]
  * New upstream release 0.2.0 (https://launchpad.net/mir/+milestone/0.2.0)
    - mirclient ABI unchanged, still at 7. Clients do not need rebuilding.
    - mirserver ABI bumped to 20. Shells need rebuilding.
      . Cursor::set_image() parameters changed.
      . Display::the_cursor() renamed to Display::create_hardware_cursor()
      . Platform::create_display() requires a new parameter; gl_program_factory
      . Renderable::buffer() no longer accepts any parameter at all. Multi-
        monitor frame sync is guaranteed in other ways now.
      . Scene::generate_renderable_list() renamed to renderable_list_for(id)
        where id is an opaque compositor ID of your choosing.
      . Scene::set_change_callback() replaced by the more generic:
        add_observer() and remove_observer() functions.
      . Added default implementation for SceneObserver.
      . SessionCreator renamed to ConnectionCreator.
      . ConnectedSessions renamed to Connections.
      . ProtobufSessionCreator renamed to ProtobufConnectionCreator.
      . SessionAuthorizer: pid_t parameters replaced by SessionCredentials.
      . Massive architectural changes to Input-everything.
      . Surface no longer implements Renderable, but emits one via
        compositor_snapshot().
      . Pass the full renderable list to Renderer::render().
      . Graceful handling of exceptions thrown from server threads.
      . Clarify size position interfaces in the Surface classes.
      . Plumbing for trusted sessions.
      . Allow posting and managing custom main-loop actions.
      . Timer extension.
      . Identify client process when client connects to Mir not when socket
        connects.
      . Use the ServerActionQueue for display config.
      . Recomposition signal moved to the MultiThreadedCompositor.
      . Make timer service replaceable.
      . Clarify assumptions about how many buffers a client can fill without
        blocking.
      . Introduce EmergencyCleanup interface.
    - Demo shell enhancements:
      . You can now change graphics modes on the fly using Ctrl+Alt+(-/=).
        To reset to the preferred mode use Ctrl+Alt+0.
      . The above mode changing as well as existing screen rotation keys
        (Ctrl+Alt+arrows) are now per-display; only applied to the monitor
        the mouse pointer is on.
      . New shell controls documented.
    - A new testing category, performance test, was introduced. It currently
      runs glmark2-es2 and compares the result to a minimum threshold.
    - MIR_VERSION_MINOR is tied to MIRSERVER_ABI in the sense that a change
      in the former now requires dependent projects that a rebuild is
      necessary.
    - SwitchingBundle was replaced by BufferQueue.
    - Expand credentials to include uid/gid for session authorizer.
    - Bypass control is now Mesa-specific and tied to the command line options.
      So the environment variable MIR_BYPASS has changed to MIR_SERVER_BYPASS.
    - Ongoing architectural changes in the compositor/renderer logic to
