XQuartz 2.7.7

XQuartz 2.7.7 is out, and it's exactly the same as 2.7.7_rc2. Note that I just recently became aware of an issue with the auto-updater. If you see a prompt which states "This update is locked and requires a password," please just hit enter without a password. This is a bug in Sparkle which will be fixed in XQuartz 2.7.8_beta2 or later (by updating to Sparkle 1.6.1). Sorry for any confusion. --Jeremy

2.7.8_beta1

XQuartz 2.7.8_beta1 is available for download. It is mostly the same as the just-released 2.7.7 except that it jumps up to the 1.16 branch of xorg-server (plus updated libXfont and fontsproto that were dependent on that update). http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.8 Note that in putting out this update, I noticed that the version of Sparkle in 2.7.7_rc1 through 2.7.8_beta1 may present a password prompt claiming that the update is locked. Just hit enter with no password. This will be fixed in 2.7.8_beta2 with an update to Sparkle 1.6.1. Sorry for any confusion this may cause. --Jeremy

XQuartz 2.7.7_rc2

Hi all, XQuartz 2.7.7_rc2 is out which addresses a few minor issues raised in rc1 and picks up the new libxcb 1.11 release. I suspect this will be the last rc, and if there are no issues found will become the 2.7.7 final next week. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.7 Thanks, Jeremy
