The first release candidate for the X.Org X Server 1.7 is now available.
This means the server ABI is now frozen.
A number of fixes went in since the snapshot. A set of patches resurrected
Xdmx which now builds again. More patches will follow to make it work
better, right now it's still a bit flaky. Other patches are all over the
place, fixing various bugs in number of subsystems. Many thanks to all
contributors.
Currently we have 7 bugs on the 1.7 tracker bug:
[http://bugs.freedesktop.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=23613&hide_resolved=1]
13932: pointer cannot move across screens in zaphod mode
16509: Leak in xf86XVDestroyWindow
19470: any X11 client can crash Xvfb
20500: Record extension not sending event
23286: Memory leak caused by 100x100 glyphs
23705: xserver 1.7.0rc0 uses wrong dimensions
23755: X does not work on Alpha
Pick your favourite and fix it. Alternatively, test this release and report
bugs so we can work towards a stable final release. If you have patches to
propose for 1.7 please send them to xorg-devel for public review.
GIT MASTER IS STILL FROZEN. DO NOT COMMIT.
No-one has proposed any larger features that need to go in immediately, so
I'm
taking advantage of it to make my life easier and save me cherry-picking.
If you have a large feature that needs to go into master immediately, let me
know and we will branch off.
Expect at least one more release candidate before the final server release.
Cheers,
Peter
