Dear X11 Users,
We are pleased to announce that X11 1.0, the GM version, is available
as part of Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther."
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/
This marks a major milestone for Apple. Not only is X11 1.0 a
complete, highly-optimized implementation of the X Window System R6.6
specification, plus the Aqua-compatible quartz-wm window manager, it is
bundled in the box as an optional install for Mac OS X. It is also
available as a free download for Panther Server customers, or customers
who purchase Macs pre-installed with Panther:

Note: This version requires Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther" or later
X11 1.0 includes a range of new features, including Finder
integration for double-clickable applications, support for full-screen
mode, and an improved Applications menu. It is one of the 150+ new
features available in Panther <http://www.apple.com/macosx>, including
added UNIX functionality such as NFS performance improvements, updated
scripting languages and command-line utilities, and additional POSIX
and Linux APIs.
The release of X11 1.0 marks the end of our highly-successful beta
process. We would like to express our appreciation for all of you who
helped us by participating in the X11 for Mac OS X beta process. We
made a wide range of improvements to the product based on your
feedback, the bulk of which have been released as Open Source
<http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/X11/index.html> and will
become part of XFree86 4.4. Please observe the terms of the beta
license agreement and do not redistribute private copies of that beta.
I hope this information is helpful to you, and I apologize for not
getting it out sooner. Feel free to forward this to other people who
might be interested in X11 1.0. If you have any questions or comments,
please email me directly.
Sincerely,
Ernie Prabhakar
