X11R7.6 development is complete: the final release has been posted. (See the announcement for further details.)

This is no longer the current release. For information about the current release, please see Releases/latest.

Features Added/Enhanced

XCB included in the katamari, required by libX11 1.4 and some clients.

Xorg server 1.8 changes, including new input hotplugging and configuration framework

Xorg server 1.9 changes

Documentation: Most protocol & API docs moved from xorg-docs into individual proto/library modules, converted from legacy formats to DocBook/XML where possible.

Massive amounts of configure.ac/Makefile.am cleanup & improvement. Lots of previously duplicated bits moved to xorg-macros (requiring recent xorg-macros versions when we build the tarballs, but unless you autoreconf that shouldn't affect people building from tarballs).

Most of the COPYING file stubs have been replaced with actual copies of the copyright & license notices for easier packaging by distributors who provide such notices in their packages.

Features Removed
