I just wanted to drop a line that this years XDC (X11 Developers Conference) is going quite well. Each of the past 3 conferences has seen a good amount of drive in the tree that has benefitted us greatly, and this year has been no different. Today is actually a very special occasion. For the first time, XQuartz is buildable and runnable from the master branch of the xserver git. I've not done too much testing yet, but xterm and glxgears works. I've also solved the known 1.5->1.6 regressions, so 2.4.1_alpha2 will likely move to the 1.6 server branch. We may actually move to 2.5.0 based on 1.7 instead of shipping 2.4.1 depending on how things progress. This may mean shipping a 2.5.0_alpha then abandoning it like we did with 2.4.0 before 2.3.3, but I hope 1.7.x doesn't prove as difficult as 1.5.x was. For those of you who haven't picked up on how the versioning numbers work, I'm trying to keep the second digit of the bundle version the same as the second digit of the upstream katamari release containing the same server version: X11R7.2 (the 1.2 and 1.3 server) -> bundle version 2.2.x X11R7.3 (the 1.4 server) -> bundle version 2.3.x X11R7.4 (the 1.5 and 1.6 servers) -> bundle version 2.4.x X11R7.5 (the 1.7 server) -> bundle version 2.5.x 2.1.x falls out of this versioning scheme, however, as it is essentially the "Official Leopard" version and contained 1.3.x and 1.4.x depending on the OS version. And for giggles, here's a screenshot of the first about window created from the master branch. --Jeremy
