XQuartz 2.7.9_beta1

Hi folks, I'd like to let you all know that XQuartz 2.7.9_beta1 is available for download. There are a few important things to note with this beta: This beta is built with address-sanitization enabled. This will have an impact on performance (eg: the font caching that happens during the "one minute remaining" phase at the end of installation will take longer than usual), but it will allow me to get potentially pertinent bug reports for various crashes that have been reported over the years which can't be easily reproduced and aren't really actionable without more information. Because of our use of ASan, this means that testing this beta will require OS X 10.8.5. The release candidates and final release of 2.7.9 will run on 10.6.3 and above). libXt is now compiled without -flat_namespace. To maintain binary compatibility, the dylib id was bumped and a binary compatible version (linked with -flat_namespace) is still present at the old path. This will primarily impact developers of motif-based software. xorg-server was bumped to version 1.17.4 (from 1.16.4), pulling in changes from that upstream release. More information is available on the wiki at: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.9 You can download the image directly from: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.9_beta1.dmg Thanks, Jeremy

XQuartz 2.7.8

Thanks everyone for testing the recent release candidates for XQuartz 2.7.8. I'm pleased to announce that XQuartz 2.7.8 is now released. The only changes since rc3 were some strings updates in the app's menus (X11 -> XQuartz). XQuartz 2.7.7 had a buggy version of Sparkle, so the automatic update process might not work for some users. If you run into issues, please do the update manually. http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.8 http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.8.dmg --Jeremy

Hey guys, Thanks for all this feedback regarding the window placement issue. I'd really like to be able to reproduce the issue myself to verify that the proposed solution addresses the problem, but I am not seeing the issue on my machine. For those of you reproducing, can you please fill in the following data? OS X Version: Is "Displays have Different Spaces" enabled in System Preferences -> Mission Control / Spaces?: Number of displays connected: For each display, is it traditional (1x) or retina (2x)?: If multiple displays, what is their arrangement (a screenshot from Display Preferences would be perfect): Thanks, Jeremy > On Oct 13, 2015, at 09:37, Haroon <quartzlock(a)october.hobby-site.org> wrote: > > On Tue, 13 Oct 2015, Tim Cox wrote: > >> I tried 278rc2 and find I can not move X windows higher on my screen than about 90 pixels from the menu bar.

The install transpired normally.

x11 forwarding, El Capitan
by John Koren 04 Oct '15

After upgrading to El Capitan, my macs are not able to do x11forwarding. When I ssh -Y to a remote mac host I get the following message: X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0. This indicates that DISPLAY variable set to a local value - I would expect 10 or larger for a remote login. I can ssh -Y to an old Sun computer or a very old mac with no problem. I noticed that in El Capitan system-wide ssh configuration files are now in /etc/ssh. I enabled X11forwarding and included # XAuthLocation added by XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org) Host * XAuthLocation /opt/X11/bin/xauth in the ssh_config and sshd_config files in /etc/ssh. Has anybody faced this issue with El Capitan and found a solution to it?
