FYI: XFree86 3.1.2E is now available...

} 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!
