Hi folks,

I've pushed out another release candidate for 2.8.0 (https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.8.0_rc3.html) to address a few more issues:

	• Font caching script will now detect an invalid lock file which was previously preventing caching (#97)
	• System fonts (/System/Library/Fonts) are now available on macOS Catalina and later (#99)
	• The mouse pointer now re-appears when focus switches to a native window (eg: quit dialog) (#100)
	• The working directory is now forced to $HOME when ~/.xinitrc is executed (#114)
	• Installer will no longer leave remnants of older versions of XQuartz when doing an upgrade install.

There are two additional issues which I'm considering fixing before 2.8.0 if more data can be provided / root cause identified.  If you're experiencing either of these remaining issues, please help provide information in the bug tickets at https://github.com/XQuartz/XQuartz/milestone/1:

	• Regressions with Indirect GLX not working
	• xauth over legacy DISPLAY (:0) sometimes not working after sleep/wake cycles

Thanks,
Jeremy
