X11 2.1.2

Released: 2008.01.12

This release contains Xquartz-1.3.0-apple7.

Installation

Download X11-2.1.2.pkg, and open it to install with Leopard's Installer. You will need to have Leopard's X11 package installed. If you uninstalled it or deselected it during your OS install, please install it from the installation DVD.

Important Notices

Restart Notice

Because we've changed the way launchd starts the server, you will need to restart your machine after installation.

Changes in 2.1.2

• All changes in 2.1.1 plus:
• app:
  • xinit git 2008.01.10
    • Updated xinit to support launchd
    • Now using xinit to start the server rather than running X11.app directly
      • X11.app is relocatable now
    • Fixed fast-user-switching X11 regression
    • Properly honor xauth and tcp/ip preferences
  • xauth git 2008.01.11
    • fixed duplicate entry crash during xauth remove
• lib:
  • pixman 0.9.6
• proto:
  • compositeproto 0.4
  • glproto 1.4.9
  • inputproto-1.4.2.1
  • renderproto-0.9.3
• server:
  • xorg-server-1.3.0-apple7
    • XQuartz comes to the foreground later in the startup process to not cause 'XQuartz -version' to flash a dock icon
    • Fixed -depth command line argument to work properly (still no 8-bit support)
    • added 'startx_script' defaults option which defaults to /usr/X11/bin/startx.
    • This is used when launchd support is disabled and the user uses X11.app to start the server (such as with Tiger).
    • added localization from Leopard's shipped X11.
    • added 'login_shell' key to org.x.X11 plist which defaults to /bin/sh and is used for launching from the Applications menu. tcsh users will probably want to change this to /bin/tcsh.
      • There was a bug in the implementation of this last feature, so if you are interested in this, please install the Xquartz-1.3.0-apple8 binary after this package or wait for our next release.
