XQuartz 2.7.10_rc3
by Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

XQuartz 2.7.10_rc3 is available for download. It is mostly the same as rc2 with the following changes: xterm was updated to the most recently released version libXt.7.dylib was replaced with a stub that re-exports libXt.6.dylib instead of a symlink The installer will now inform the user to logout if upgrading from a version of XQuartz with the startx launch agent at the old location A few bugfix patches were pulled in for xorg-server This should address the regression whereby 2.7.10 rc was unable to run some executables linked against 2.7.9 that made use of libXt (#97926). Please report back any issues uncovered. I'd like to get this released some time over the next few weeks. See: https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.10_rc3.html Thanks, Jeremy

XQuartz 2.7.10-rc2 breaks all X binaries built against XQuartz 2.7.9
by Jack Howarth 25 Sep '16

Jeremy, You have a major thinko in XQuartz 2.7.10-rc2. Replacing libXt.7.dylib with a symlink to libXt.6.dylib causes all binaries built against XQuartz 2.7.9 to break.... dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib Referenced from: /sw/bin/gs Reason: Incompatible library version: gs requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libXt.7.dylib provides version 7.0.0 because the libXt.7.dylib in the current 2.7.9 release has an so version of 8.0.0. You will need to replace the symlink with a proper build of libXt.7.dylib to provide continuity in the so version number. Jack

Hi all, XQuartz 2.7.10_rc2 is available. It's essentially the same as 2.7.10_rc1 but should work fine on older OS versions. If you got bit by that, my apologies. Please give this one a go. Thanks, Jeremy

XQuartz 2.7.10_rc1
by Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 14 Sep '16

Hey all, I'd like to announce that XQuartz 2.7.10_rc1 is available. Full changes since 2.7.9 can be seen in the release notes: https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.10_rc1.html The main change since 2.7.10_beta2 is around the libXt compatibility hack for Motif. Because of issues with applications that use both Motif and libXaw, I've abandoned the previous approach of shipping /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib as flat_namespace and /opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib as the two-level namespace version. Now, /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib is two-level namespace, and /opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib is provided as a symlink to it for compatibility. This means that Motif based applications will fail to launch by default unless this bug is fixed in Motif. As a workaround, we're shipping the flat namespace dylib hack at /opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace/libXt.6.dylib. Users who require that version have two options: 1) Replace the two-level namespace version with it (sudo cp /opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace/libXt.6.dylib /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib) 2) Launch your Motif applications using DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace This should not be seen as a long-term solution. Hopefully someone will step up to fix Motif to not require this hack. Please give this a try and comment on the effectiveness of this approach if you use Motif-based applications. Thanks, Jeremy
