Welcome to the Xquartz project

Intro

The Xquartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the ​X.org X Window System that runs on Mac OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple has shipped with OS X since version 10.5.

Latest Release

2009.05.17

X11.pkg version 2.3.3.2 released

2009.05.28

​Localization updates for 2.3.3.2 and 2.1.6

Support

There are three ways to get support for Xquartz.

OS-X Software/Security Updates and Xquartz

OS-X Software Updates have included some of the work done in this project and will likely include further changes in possible future updates of 10.5.x. It is suggested that you install the latest XQuartz release after installing an update to OS-X.

10.5.2

10.5.2's version of X11 is somewhere between the 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 packages released through this site. The launchd mechanism to start X11 in 10.5.2 is unique to Apple's 10.5.2 and never appeared in a release from this site in its current form (though it was essentially integrated into xinit for 2.1.2).

2008-002 Security Update

The 2008-002 Security Update version of X11 is the same as 10.5.2 with some security fixes applied.

10.5.5

10.5.5 updates the X11 server to match what shipped with 2.2.3. Most of the userland, however, only saw security updates. The version reported by X11 in 10.5.5 is 2.1.5 to distinguish it from the 2.2.x series which contains a much newer userland.

10.5.7

10.5.7 updates the X11 server to match what shipped with 2.3.2. Most of the userland, however, only saw security updates. The version reported by X11 in 10.5.7 is 2.1.6 to distinguish it from the 2.3.x series which contains a much newer userland.
