Hi all, The 10.6.7 update last night supposedly fixed X11 bugs. Should I reinstall the XQuartz-2.6.1 package over top of it now, or leave it alone? Thanks, - Brian

Specifically, it updated FreeType to v2.4.3. ( bottom of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4581 )
Yeah, we pulled in some security fixes from Freetype. The KB article is slightly off. The version of freetype in 10.6.7 is 2.4.4 which is the same version present in XQuartz 2.6.0 and 2.6.1. Keep in mind that XQuartz installs to /opt/X11 whereas the Apple-provided X11 is in /usr/X11. You should certainly update your OS version as well to make sure you have the latest security fixes applied throughout your system. On Mar 22, 2011, at 08:30, Brian Bender wrote:

For me, the most crucial fixes are to Bzip2 and ClamAV. That Bzip2 fix has been a bugbear for a much longer time than it should have been; the fix has been available since before 10.6.6.
