[Xquartz-dev] XQuartz 2.6.0 for Leopard

[Jeremy Huddleston]

After a series of complications, version 2.6.0 is not available for  
Leopard:

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/Leopard/X11-2.6.0.dmg  
X11-2.6.0.dmg

You should also be able to update to it using the "Check for Updates"  
menu item.

Thanks,
Jeremy
