[[X11R7.6|http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/]] development is complete: [[the final release|http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/]] has been posted. (See [[the announcement|Other/Press/X11R76Released]] for further details.) ## Features Added/Enhanced * [[XCB|http://xcb.freedesktop.org/]] included in the katamari, required by libX11 1.4 and some clients. * [[Xorg server 1.8 changes|Server18Branch]], including [[new input hotplugging and configuration framework|http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-configuration-world-order.html]] * [[Xorg server 1.9 changes|Server19Branch]] * [[Documentation|Development/Documentation/WritingDocumentation]]: 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 * [[Xsdl|http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=52bc6d944946e66ea2cc685feaeea40bb496ea83]] - experimental kdrive server using SDL that was never finished * [[Frame buffer support in XF86DGA|http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=0b7c6c728c2e2d8433a188315cc591308a89cd85]] * [[Multibuffer extension in X servers|http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=0ba82562eeba8bf3bcd00b6e3ff28ce5b2c8df3c]] - deprecated since the 90's ## Schedule * RC1: 11 November 2010 * Final Release: 20 December 2010
