It's a bit after 11pm, on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year,
so what better time for a new release of X11!
Release Candidate 1 of X11R7.6 has been posted at:
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6-RC1/
This includes all the source tar files for the versions of the modules
currently considered part of the core release set (aka the ?katamari?)
and the documentation files from those modules (other than the man pages)
At this point, only some final bug fixes, documentation updates, and
janitorial cleanups are expected between now and the final release of
X11R7.6, including final releases of several modules for which release
candidates are included in this set (including libX11 1.4.0 and
xorg-docs 1.6.0).
The full list of modules included, and the versions compared to X11R7.5
is provided in the following list. Update releases of the modules not
included in the core/katamari set will continue to be made as needed.
For further details on the changes since X11R7.5, see the Release Notes
and Change Logs posted at the above URL.

It's the only package included in a release one cannot find at the usual place. The COPYING file does not accurately reflect the licensing in the source code. Hopefully it won't harm X.Org. XCB: are the newly added xcb packages now officially part of X.Org? If so, should their git repo be hosted under 'xorg/' in the appropriate proto/lib section? This is about the only hint for new contributors as to which package belongs to X.Org and which one does not. Gaetan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Fixes are in git, so are available for testing. It must be noted that none of the main X.Org developers seem to build in cross-compiled environments ourselves, and no one who cares about cross-compiling seems to be tracking git - the changes that introduced these problems were committed in July, but it was not until the tarballs were published 3 months later that we found out cross-compiling was broken. If you are interested in making sure future software releases from X.Org cross-compile out of the box, or build on a platform other than the ones the core developers build on, it would be in your best interest to occasionally compile the modules you use from git. Even better would be to set up a tinderbox client, so when a failure is introduced, it's brought to our attention right away on http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/ and in our RSS feeds of errors from there. http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Tinderbox has more information on setting up a tinderbox for X.Org. - -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (SunOS) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkzeGFUACgkQovueCB8tEw7uHwCfcH7b9T64Pf1pRTrmSbsnnW4U c0AAnRRnbBWoNMD+alO6xgM8XpPGNs5Z =3ugE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
