Apple is pleased to provide a third public beta for X11 at:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/
This third beta is available as a free download for anyone using Mac
OS X 10.2.x. It contains a wide range of bug fixes and feature
enhancements (below)
We will update the the Technical Q&A soon:
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1232.html
Please report any bugs at http://developer.apple.com/BugReporter.
Sincerely,
The X11 Team at Apple
Changes in X11 Beta 3:
* Added Pseudocolor (8-bit) visual plane support so applications
requiring 8 bit support should find the visuals by default. You can
also add " -depth 8 " (see Xquartz man page) when starting the X Server
if you want to run it only in 8 bit mode, which is unrecommended as
OpenGL support is not available in 8 bit mode.
* Added an option to quit X11 without presenting warning dialog : "
defaults write com.apple.x11 no_quit_alert true ". See man page for
Xquartz for more details.
* Added Command-Q keyboard shortcut to quit X11. Can be disabled from
preferences.
* Added Command-, to bring up preferences dialog. Can be disabled from
preferences.
* Added customization of fake buttons while emulating mouse. See man
page for Xquartz for more details.
* Fixed problems with dead keys on certain keyboard mappings.
* OpenGL: Fixed problem with linking against libGL resulting in
multiple definitions of glGetColorTableEXT.
* Fixed problem where non-admin users could not start X11 because lock
files were being left behind in /tmp.
* Fixed problem where quartz-wm lost ConfigureNotify events.
* Fixed problem so that windows can be resized by user to any size and
not be limited by the Dock's height.
* Fixed window focus problem when un-minimizing X11 windows from the
Dock.
* Fixed a crash that could occur when dragging remotely hosted windows.
* Dialog windows can now be resized.
* Fixed a problem with hardware accelerated scrolling in 16 bit mode.
* Fixed a bug where emulated middle-button-raise fails when Alt/option
is not Mode_Switch.
* Fixed a bug where cursor would jump on multiple monitor systems if
application tried to manage the cursor's position.
* Fixed a bug that crashes the X Server if application tried to
retrieve data back from the framebuffer using XGetImage.
* Fixed a bug when quitting from the Dock that would result in the Quit
Dialog being presented behind the current application.
* Fixed a bug where windows are created offscreen if (0,0) maps to an
offscreen location.
* Fixed a bug with undecorated and modal windows having a titlebar
because the window manager hints were not being interpreted correctly.
Note: This beta is still based on XFree86 4.2, though we continue to
monitor the progress of XFree86 4.3.
