Hi everyone,

After multiple betas testing a ton of updates, 2.7.2 finally has a release candidate build.

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.7.2

You can see all the details on the release notes page, but here are some highlights:

* many X.org modules updated with minor fixes (X11R7.7 RC1)
* mesa was updated to 8.0.2 with some crash fixes
* freeglut replaces MesaGLUT
* multiple CVEs addressed in libpng and freetype
* cairo was updated to 1.12.0
* libxcb was update to 1.8.1
* xorg-server is now on the 1.12 branch
* The Xorg DDX is included for development purposes or expert users
* Support for smooth scrolling
* Our input drivers now report both absolute and relative motion (to address an issue in wine)
* The installer package and installed binaries are now signed with XQuartz's DeveloperID Certificate

Please give this release a whirl.  I am especially interested in any issues related to scrolling behavior that may have occurred as part of the smooth scrolling effort.  If you have any issues with mouse wheel scrolling, please discuss them here or in http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/562.

Thanks,
Jeremy
