[Xquartz-dev] XQuartz 2.5.0

[Jeremy Huddleston]

XQuartz-2.5.0 is done!  Thanks to everyone who helped out with testing  
the alphas, betas, and release candidates.  Without your feedback,  
support, and responsiveness, many issues would've slipped through the  
cracks.

2.5.0 is a pretty sizable update from our last release (2.4.0) way  
back in September.  The long release cycle has been mainly due to my  
desire to wait for fixes to land in a SnowLeopard SU which would  
prevent our updates from breaking the system X11.  Those updates  
landed in 10.6.3, so SnowLeopard users will need to update to 10.6.3  
first.

As with all Leopard versions, the Security Update that was released  
today will overwrite some of the files this package installs, so we  
recommend you install the SecUpdate first (and reinstall X11 after any  
future SecUpdates).

There are really too many changes to list here, but the big ones  
include moving to the 1.7.x server codebase and syncing up with all  
other Xorg modules bringing us up to X11R7.5.  libXplugin and quartz- 
wm have seen a bit of work as well (most of which landed in the 10.6.3  
release from Apple) to fix GLX performance for ATI cards and address  
some odd behavior when using Exposé or wine (like Codeweavers  
Crossover).

Full release notes:

And disk images with the installers:
Leopard:      http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/Leopard/X11-2.5.0.dmg
SnowLeopard:  http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.5.0.dmg

Users of previous versions should be able to update by selecting  
"Check for X11 Updates" from the X11 menu.

Please report any issues you come across to our bug tracker (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/newticket 
).

Thanks, and enjoy!
