Hi Jeremy,
release looks good, it fixes a number of things like the
#290 missing border
around widgets etc. And opengl apps at least open and start running from
remote
machines. I presume we still need LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT?
Sadly, all remote things I've tried force segfaults pretty fast (simple
xterms,xclocks,glxgears etc).
My setup is OSX10.5.8 on a PPC, and 99% of my work is remote to linux
boxes running
recent FedoraCore. I've put in a new bug #405, but presumable others
will see it too...
Best wishes,
James.

Thanks to everyone for helping out with the 2.5.1 release. We've got
a bunch of bug fixes all over the place (currently 29 tickets closed
in this milestone) as well as version bumps and changes for some key
components. Thanks to everyone for weathering the rough ride as we
transitioned from an xtrans backed libX11 to an xcb backed libX11. It
looks like all those issues are worked out and patches are now
upstream, so other distributions will benefit from our labor as well.
A ChangeLog of the most visible changes since 2.5.0 can be found here:

Direct downloads for Leopard and Snow Leopard can be found here:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/Leopard/X11-2.5.1_rc1.dmg
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.5.1_rc1.dmg
or you can just "Check for updates" from the X11 menu (you'll need to
be on the pre-release update feed, visit the ChangeLog above for info
on that).
This looks to be a fairly solid release, but as always, if you find an
issue, please report it:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/newticket
Thanks,
Jeremy
