[Xquartz-dev] 2.4.0_beta1 issues ... file bug reports

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Ok, so I've talked this over with George and we both agree that 1.6 is  
just not "stable enough" right now.  I was hoping there would just be  
a few minor issues I hadn't seen before, but there are just too many  
random issues to stabilize in the timeframe I'd like (and I'm sure  
there are others waiting to pop out of the woodwork).  I really want  
to get a stable release out in the next month or so with the new libGL  
update, the updated libX11 and libxcb, and the various miscellaneous  
fixes (AFP home directory support, avoid rebuilding fontconfig cache  
for multiple-archs, the 100% CPU issue [which seems close to a real  
fix, but at minimum we can revert the patch that caused it], etc).

To that end, I think I'm going to table the 1.6 server development for  
the next few weeks and focus on putting together another release based  
on the 1.4 server.  This will require backporting some of George's GLX  
fixes.  I think it's unfortunate that 1.6 didn't converge as fast as I  
had hoped, but I've made great strides.  I just think it's more  
important to get a stable, mature release out that will take advantage  
of George's fixes.

So, what that means is I'm going to forget the bugs mentioned with the  
1.6 server in 2.4.0_beta1... but they're still going to be there when  
I resume work on the 1.6 server.   PLEASE file a bug report with the  
info, so it doesn't get lost.
