Hello everyone,

By now, you may have heard about the new site we've been working to get setup at MacOSForge (http://xquartz.macosforge.org). We're still putting on the finishing touches, but you might find some useful information there like the latest Xquartz release (1.3.0- apple2). I decided to start calling it -apple# as opposed to a# so people don't think the a means it's alpha software. You can find this Xquartz release here:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/Releases

The main changes over 1.3a1 are some stability improvements, horizontal scroll wheel support, and Alt (left and right) is now Mode_switch. I made this decision based on what Tiger's X11 was doing. For anyone who needs it to be Alt_R and Alt_L, please use ~/.Xmodmap for that (search the list for a post by me with a sample .Xmodmap file or ping me to update the wiki with the info... which I will soonish) and send hate/flame mail to my secretary at / dev/null. If for some reason ~/.Xmodmap does not suit your needs for keyboard mapping in Xquartz, then please let me know what more we can do in coming releases to address your concerns.

Furthermore, because downloading multiple individual files to get all the updates is a pain, we're going to be putting out a .pkg to handle it all in a convenient and easily deployable manner. This is my first experience making a package file, so I'd appreciate feedback before I actually put it up on the site. Anyone willing to trust me not to break their system (I'm not offended if this isn't you) can find this package here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/X11-2.1.0.pkg . I would appreciate feedback to make sure I'm not doing something wrong before I put this up on our releases page. To see a summary of changes collected in this package, check out http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/ChangeLog#Changesin2.1.0

Thanks,
Jeremy _______________________________________________
