Hi folks, XQuartz 2.7.11 is available for download. The primary reason for the release is to pick up a fix to the fontconfig 2.12 caching bug, but it also picks up a few other library bugfixes. For the full set of changes and a link to the download, check out https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.11.html Thanks, Jeremy

I just uploaded 2.7.11_rc2. It contains a few small patches over 2.7.11_rc1 to address some regressions in libX11 and libXi as well as (hopefully) properly addressing the fontconfig caching issue. Please give it a try. Thanks, Jeremy

XQuartz 2.7.11_rc1 is available for download. It contains a fix for a fontconfig caching bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97546) and version bumps for mesa and libpng. Other than that, it's the same as XQuartz 2.7.10. https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.11_rc1.html If you've been experiencing the caching bug, please give this a test and comment in that bug report. Thanks, Jeremy

Handling ksh variants in XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
by Larry Hynes 11 Oct '16

11 Oct '16

Hello I've recently been playing with mksh [1] and oksh [2], both of which require tweaking of line 11 in the X11 script in XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS. Changing the `case` statement on that line to oksh|mksh|ksh|sh|zsh) is starting to look a little unwieldy, especially considering that they're both derivatives of pdksh [3], which should probably also get a mention; in fact pdksh should probably be considered for inclusion before oksh, or even mksh for that matter. Which leads me to wonder whether ksh deserves a wildcard in the case statement, although I'm not sure if that's an altogether elegant, or prudent, solution either. Thanks for all the good work on XQuartz. [1] https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm [2] https://github.com/ibara/oksh [3] http://www.cs.mun.ca/~michael/pdksh/

XQuartz 2.7.10_rc5
by Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 07 Oct '16

XQuartz 2.7.10_rc5 is available for download. The only change compared to 2.7.10_rc4 is the inclusion of fixes for the issues discussed in this week's security advisory from X.org (https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2016-October/002720.html) I intend to release this as the final version of 2.7.10 in the next couple weeks if there are no major regressions reported. Again as with the previous rc, I stress that users of Motif-based applications should give this change a test, using the guidance on the release notes page to launch those applications. https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.10_rc5.html Thanks, Jeremy
