    The mention of XQuartz (for macOS) reminded me to check that, and 2.8.6 was released mid-July:

    Previously 2.8.5 was out in 2023:

    There's a XQuartz 2.8.7 beta as well (xorg-server 26.1 rebase):

      omg, it's been over a decade since I have last used XQuartz. Did they finally open source the whole quartz-wm?

        > An XQuartz installation consists of many individual pieces of software which have various licenses. The X.Org software components’ licenses are discussed on the X.Org Foundation Licenses page.[1] The quartz-wm[2] window manager included with the XQuartz distribution uses the Apple Public Source License Version 2.[3]

          Just looked it up, that Apple license is indeed approved as open source/free software by the FSF and OSI!

    Isn't most of this already in xlibre?

      People have all kind of opinions about xlibre as a project and the politics around it that I'm not interested in, but if they're driving xorg to improve, that's a good thing.

      I'm not some anti-wayland zealot but you will pry xfce out of my cold dead hands.
