Jake Hamby stands accused of saying: } Date: May 22, 17:44 } Subject: X11R6.1 available... Should we use? } I just discovered that X11R6.1 has been available since March. The } differences between X11R6 and R6.1 are fairly minor, mostly bug fixes and } completion of a few extensions formerly considered workInProgress. It } should be fully source, binary, and protocol compatible with X11R6. } Also, it is interesting to note the FreeBSD 2.1.0R is now officially } supported (it was FreeBSD 1.1 in X11R6). } } So the question is: When are we going to upgrade to X11R6.1? There } don't seem to be any compelling reasons not to, other than the effort it } takes to make a port. Does anyone on the XFree86 team know what the } status of XFree86 under X11R6.1 is? XFree86 3.1.2C does seem to be } integrated into X11R6.1 itself and there is also an odd directory named } xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree98 which seems to be a subset of xfree86, } with no accompanying documentation! } } ---Jake }-- End of excerpt from Jake Hamby -- Charles Green, PRC Inc.
