The second stable update to the X server 1.7 is now available. Only a few fixes went in since last week's RC2, the most prominent reverting a regression. See Bug 25136 for more details. I think the 5 week schedule worked out well, hence 1.7.3 is scheduled 5 weeks from now, with the snapshots after 2 and 4 weeks unless some other reason forces us to release sooner. Please remember to nominate your patches for 1.7 either by letting me know over IRC/email or by shoving it into the server-1.7-nominations branch.

See Bug 25136 for more details.Please note that the 1.7.2 release has two major issues. An ABI incompatibility introduced by the above fix and a build error caused by nested pkg-config directives. 1.7.3 will be out ASAP fixing those two issues, the first of which is already on the fixing those two issues. Meanwhile, I recommend holding back updating until 1.7.3 is out. My apologies for the inconvenience. Cheers, Peter
