XQuartz 2.6.2 has been released with only a few minor changes since the 2.6.2 beta a couple weeks ago.  With this release, XQuartz moves from the 1.9.x server branch to the 1.10 branch including fixes for an xrdb startup race (initial xterms not getting ~/.Xresources), some pasteboard proxy fixes, and a possible crash/corruption.  Additionally, this release brings in the new quartz-wm-1.2.0 which has had its WM hint/notification path completely rewritten to be much more reliable and expandable.

Additionally, this release includes the fix for CVE-2011-0465 in xrdb.  Most users of XQuartz will be unaffected by this issue, but it is still recommended that you update.

You can download the update by searching for updates from the X11 menu or from a link on the release notes wiki page:

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.6.2

The next planned release will be 2.7.0, based on the 1.11 server codebase.  In development so far for that release are improved concurrency support (more appropriate locking, usage of GCD), better logging, and much more yet to be written =)

Thanks,
Jeremy
