I just released the first release candidate of XQuartz 2.6.0. This is the first pre-release built for Leopard as well as SL, so please give it a whirl on Leopard to see if there are any Leopard specific issues we may have missed.
There are still a couple bugs left that I'd like to address before 2.6.0 is released, but they're not worth holding up release if I don't get to them, so consider this mostly complete.
The changes worth noting from 2.6.0_beta2 are:
Updated freetype which should address font rendering issues introduced in 2.5.2.
The mac OSX screensaver is now disabled while in fullscreen mode.
Mode changing works again for multi-monitor configurations.
XBell() is now exclusively NSBeep() (ie: the "use system alert" preference option is now gone)
Misc stability fixes in the server
libX11-1.4.0 and misc other modules
For the full list of changes, see the draft release notes:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.6.0
You can install it using automatic updates from a previous beta (or full version if you enable the beta feed) or directly:
Leopard: http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/Leopard/X11-2.6.0_rc1.dmg
Snow Leopard: http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.6.0_rc1.dmg
At this point, I'm just waiting on the final X11R7.6 release at which point I'll pull in the rest of the updated modules and call it 2.6.0.
Please test and let me know if there are any regressions.
Thanks,
Jeremy
