I've released 2.4.0_rc2.  If you don't see an auto-update  
notification, you can download it from

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/X11-2.4.0_rc2.dmg

The main changes from rc1 include a few updated packages from upstream  
(xextproto, fixesproto, xmag, xrx) and some bugfixes to the XQuartz  
server and libGL:

The visuals saw some fixes.
   There is no longer a DirectColor visual
   15bit visuals are listed in 24bit mode
   the bitmasks are now correct
   the default visual now correctly corresponds to a GLX visual.
Tablet support was improved
   the mouse position no longer "jitters" when using the pen
A few crashes were fixed
   embedding the acrobat 7 pdf viewer in a linux firefox client no  
longer crashes the server
   using AIGLX no longer crashes the server
   calling glDrawBuffer with an invalid context no longer crashes the  
client

I'm still investigating some more possible regressions, but I think  
2.4.0-rc2 looks solid.  Please live on it and let me know if there are  
any other regressions that I should look at before pushing a release.
