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
