Testing EdDSA verification of updates using XQuartz 2.8.2 beta2 and beta3
by Jeremy Sequoia 19 Jun '22

Hi folks, With XQuartz 2.8.2, I want to move us to using EdDSA to verify future software updates through Sparkle. To test updating using EdDSA verification, I've released XQuartz 2.8.2 beta 2 and beta 3, and I'd like to get some testing from the community using these releases. If you are able to help, please install beta 2 (or update to it from within the app if you're on the beta feed) and then update to beta 3 by temporarily switching to the alpha update feed: defaults write org.xquartz.X11 SUFeedURL https://www.xquartz.org/releases/sparkle/alpha.xml Then launch XQuartz (2.8.2_beta2) and check for updates (XQuartz -> Check For X11 Updates...). Install the update (to beta 3), and report any issues you run into. When done, please move back to the default feed: defaults delete org.xquartz.X11 SUFeedURL Note that beta 3 is basically identical to beta 2. It was just built on another system with a slightly newer Xcode. The main changes in betas 2/3 compared to beta 1 are the updates to Sparkle (1.26 -> 1.27.1), transition to EdDSA verification, and a few updates pulled in from upstream projects (eg: libxcb, libX11, mesa, freetype). Thanks, Jeremy

XQuartz 2.8.2 beta1

Hey folks, I shipped XQuartz-2.8.2_beta1 last week. This update includes a number of fixes for some issues reported against 2.8.1, but most upstream components remained at the same versions as in 2.8.1. The main goal of this release was to get feedback on whether #166 was fixed, and it seems to be! https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.8.2_beta1.html I plan on putting out a 2.8.2_beta2 update this weekend or early next week which pulls in some conservative version bumps and changes how we verify software updates from dsa to ed25519. I plan at least one more update after that to verify that software updates using ed25519 are working in practice and not just on my local system. Thanks, Jeremy
