Nothing personal, but aren't you rather confusing the Open Group and
the XFree86 Project Inc?
XFree86 is primarily developed and distributed by the XFree86 Project
Inc. The code is, of course, derived from that of the Open Group.
But, it does not necessarily mean that the latest release from the
XFree86 always matches the latest release of X11.
In fact
http://www.camb.opengroup.org/tech/desktop/x/r6.4doc/relnotes/relnotes.htm
mentions XFree86 3.3.1 which was released in Aug. 97 and is based on
X11R6.3pl2.
You had better check out the XFree86 web site:
http://www.xfree86.org/
rather than the Open Group's, for the latest information and status
of XFree86.
