While we wait to see what comes of the new X.Org Server Git branch plans and a possible X.Org Server 26.1 release, several X.Org libraries saw new point releases this weekend. These seldom-updated libraries saw new releases to ship various build fixes and other minor improvements.
Alan Coopersmith of Oracle’s Solaris team and long-time X.Org release wrangler spent a lot of time this weekend shipping new upstream X.Org library updates. The new releases this weekend include:
bitman 1.1.2 – Improved man page formatting, various compiler fixes, and other minor fixes to these X bitmap editor and conversion utilities.
libXmu 1.3.0 – A few fixes to this X miscellaneous utility routines library.
Xfd 1.1.5 – A few compiler fixes and new -help and -version options for this font display code.
xkill 1.0.7 – Adding a -help option, Meson build system support, and other minor janitorial changes.
libXcomposite 0.4.7 – Meson build system support and a few other minor fixes.
libXdamage 1.1.7 – Meson build system support.
libXext 1.3.7 – A few fixes and improved man page formatting.
libXinerama 1.1.6 – Meson build system support, improved man page formatting, and a few fixes.
libxkbfile 1.2.0 – Quite a number of code/compiler fixes, a new XkbRF_FreeVarDefs() API, and retiring the Autoconf build system in favor of Meson.
The common theme being more adoption of the Meson build system, man page formatting updates, and shipping various accumulated fixes.
