[Xquartz-dev] server versions status

[Jeremy Huddleston]

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.
