+Subject: [PATCH] Only byte-swap 16-bit PNGs on little-endian (#7792)
+
+_png has some code that unconditionally byte-swaps 16-bit PNG
+data (which is, per the spec, stored in big-endian order). This
+isn't appropriate on a big-endian platform, though: this swap
+being done unconditionally breaks the handling of 16-bit PNGs
+on big-endian platforms (e.g. Fedora ppc64), as reported in
+this swap or not.

+Subject: [PATCH] Use reliable int type for mesh size in draw_quad_mesh (#7788)
+
+In the agg backend, `PyRendererAgg.draw_quad_mesh` takes mesh
+dimension arguments (`mesh_width` and `mesh_height`). When
+converting those from Python to C, we were declaring the C
+types as `size_t`, but converting from Python using the 'I'
+format specifier, which converts a Python integer to a C
+unsigned int. This isn't safe, because `size_t` is not
+necessarily the same size as an int. On Fedora with GCC, for
+instance, `size_t` is an alias for long unsigned int.
+
+On LE arches this usually won't cause a problem, but on a BE
+arch where `size_t` isn't an int type, the mismatch causes
+rendering errors (see #7788).
+
+This addresses the problem by just changing the types for these
+values to be `unsigned int` instead.

+* Tue Jan 10 2017 Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com> - 2.0.0-0.7.rc2
+- Update to 2.0.0rc2
+- Fix more big-endian integer issues
+- Apply the 'aarch64' test tolerance patch on ppc64 also (it's affected by same issues)
+- Tweak the 'i686' test tolerance patch a bit (some errors are gone, some new ones)
+- Re-enable test suite for all arches
+- Note a remaining quasi-random test issue that causes build to fail sometimes
+
 * Mon Jan 09 2017 Adam Williamson <awilliam@redhat.com> - 2.0.0-0.6.b4
 - Fix another integer type issue which caused more issues on ppc64
