The mention of XQuartz (for macOS) reminded me to check that, and 2.8.6 was released mid-July:<p>* <a href="https://www.xquartz.org/releases/bare/XQuartz-2.8.6.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.xquartz.org/releases/bare/XQuartz-2.8.6.html</a><p>Previously 2.8.5 was out in 2023:<p>* <a href="https://www.xquartz.org/releases/bare/XQuartz-2.8.5.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.xquartz.org/releases/bare/XQuartz-2.8.5.html</a><p>There's a XQuartz 2.8.7 beta as well (xorg-server 26.1 rebase):<p>* <a href="https://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.xquartz.org/releases/index.html</a>
Isn't most of this already in xlibre?
People have all kind of opinions about xlibre as a project and the politics around it that I'm not interested in, but if they're driving xorg to improve, that's a good thing.<p>I'm not some anti-wayland zealot but you will pry xfce out of my cold dead hands.
Xorg has had releases for years and will continue to do so. But as you can see in the announcement, enterprise users are the driving factor.
Yeah, but they haven't added any features in years, from what I assumed to be a maintenance only/feature frozen stance in favor of Wayland, which is (primarily) why xlibre forked.
Even xfce will one day move to Wayland.
