2.5.1_rc1 (Leopard and Snow Leopard)
by Jeremy Huddleston 19 May '10

19 May '10

Thanks to everyone for helping out with the 2.5.1 release. We've got a bunch of bug fixes all over the place (currently 29 tickets closed in this milestone) as well as version bumps and changes for some key components. Thanks to everyone for weathering the rough ride as we transitioned from an xtrans backed libX11 to an xcb backed libX11. It looks like all those issues are worked out and patches are now upstream, so other distributions will benefit from our labor as well. A ChangeLog of the most visible changes since 2.5.0 can be found here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/ChangeLog Direct downloads for Leopard and Snow Leopard can be found here: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/Leopard/X11-2.5.1_rc1.dmg http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.5.1_rc1.dmg or you can just "Check for updates" from the X11 menu (you'll need to be on the pre-release update feed, visit the ChangeLog above for info on that). This looks to be a fairly solid release, but as always, if you find an issue, please report it: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/newticket Thanks, Jeremy

Inkscape & clipboard sync
by Nathan Gray 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi guys, I'm currently using XQuartz 2.3.5 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple53) and I spend a lot of time in Inkscape and NEdit. This is kind of annoying, because copy/paste doesn't work properly in Inkscape (copies bitmaps instead of vectors) if clipboard sync is enabled but it's maddening to use NEdit without it. Does copy/paste in Inkscape work any better with more recent versions of XQuartz? I know I should just upgrade and try it myself but I'm loathe to change too much in a setup that works pretty well aside from this problem. Thanks, -n8 PS: Please CC me with replies. -- http://n8gray.org

2.5.1_beta4
by Jeremy Huddleston 15 May '10

15 May '10

Hi everyone, I just released the fourth (and probably last) beta for 2.5.1. If all goes smoothly, we'll be starting the rc's with the next release. This release pulls in the newly released xorg-server-1.8.1 and pixman-0.18.2. It also includes the work I've been doing recently for libxcb including the patch series I sent to xorg-devel yesterday which will make libxcb understand a larger set of $DISPLAY variables. This should fix the connectivity regressions that some people were seeing with the new xcb-backed libX11. We have 28 closed tickets with 7 remaining open in the 2.5.1 milestone. I'll be evaluating these to decide which to keep in 2.5.1 and which to punt to 2.5.2. If you feel strongly about any of these issues, please speak up. Full ChangeLog: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/ChangeLog Direct Download: http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.5.1_beta4.dmg Remaining 2.5.1 issues: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=… Yes, this is SL-only. The first rc will be available for Leopard. Thanks, Jeremy

x11 pymol vs GT 120
by Jack Howarth 07 May '10

07 May '10

I just got a new MacPro dual quad this week and am finding with the stock X11 in 10.6.2 that the fink pymol 1.2r2 produces strobing in the Pymol viewer window. This seems to happen regardless of what setting I use for the stereo mode. Is anyone else seeing this issue with the OpenGL drivers for the Nvidia GT120 card? FYI, I added a MacPorts pymol 1.2 package last year so it is readily available for testing. I am reluctant to install Xorg 2.5.0 on this machine because the fink developers aren't testing or supporting building against that configuration on Snow Leopard. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I can also reproduce this on 10.5.8 with the 2.5.0 install. Just start xfontsel, pick apple as the foundry then xfontsel exits immediately with: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Value in failed request: 0x400049 Serial number of failed request: 2081 Current serial number in output stream: 2082 Which looks like ticket 325 that's mentioned above except this is happening on Leopard with X11 2.5.0 installed. I also get the same error when picking monotype as the foundry. Kyle

Yes, it looks like that, although I can't reproduce it with wish (version 8.5.8 and 8.4.1). OTF tests were performed for example with /System/Library/Fonts/ AquaKana*.otf.

Server side fonts
by Peter Dyballa 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hello! X clients can either use fonts supplied via libfontconfig or request them from the X server. The X server is configured like this: checking for root directory for font files... /opt/local/share/fonts checking for directory for misc files... ${FONTROOTDIR}/misc checking for directory for OTF files... ${FONTROOTDIR}/OTF checking for directory for TTF files... ${FONTROOTDIR}/TTF checking for directory for Type1 files... ${FONTROOTDIR}/Type1 checking for directory for 75dpi files... ${FONTROOTDIR}/75dpi checking for directory for 100dpi files... ${FONTROOTDIR}/100dpi checking for ${prefix}/etc/X11/fontpath.d... no checking for default font path... ${FONTROOTDIR}/misc/,${FONTROOTDIR}/ TTF/,${FONTROOTDIR}/OTF/,${FONTROOTDIR}/Type1/,${FONTROOTDIR}/100dpi/,$ {FONTROOTDIR}/75dpi/,/Library/Fonts,/System/Library/Fonts Xfontsel uses the X server. When I select "apple" as foundry, i.e., I select fonts from /Library/Fonts or /System/Library/Fonts (why is there no ~/Library/Fonts?), it crashes. The xfontsel I am writing of is /usr/X11/bin/xfontsel from the X11 update 2.5.0 (Leopard 10.5.8 PPC, build 9L31a). When I select any Unicode encoded OT font, found in some other directory in my font path addition, xfontsel fails to display any glyphs. It looks to me as if the X server cannot deliver fonts derived from OT fonts. It even often crashes when I select such a font from its names display... -- Greetings <] Pete o __o |__ o recumbo ___o /I -\<, |o \ -\),-% ergo sum! ___/\ /\___./ \___...O/ O____.....`-O-'-()--o_________________
