X.Org continues to develop and release the X Window System software components. These are released individually as each component is ready, without waiting for a overall X Window System “katamari” release schedule - see the [[individual X.Org releases directory|http://www.x.org/releases/individual/]] for downloads, and the [[xorg-announce archives|http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/]] or [[git repositories|http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/]] for details on included changes. No release plan for a X11R7.8 rollup katamari release has been proposed yet. ## Features Added/Enhanced * [[RandR|Projects/XRandR]] extension [[1.4|http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/randrproto/tree/randrproto.txt?id=randrproto-1.4.0#n122]] & [[1.5|http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/randrproto/tree/randrproto.txt?id=randrproto-1.5.0#n160]] * X Resource extension 1.2 * [[XInput extension 2.3: pointer barrier events and releases|http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/whats-new-in-xi-23-pointer-barrier.html]] * Security fixes for [[Security Advisories against X11R7.7|Development/Security/#x.org7.7]] * [[DRI3|http://keithp.com/blogs/dri3_extension/]] & [[Present|http://keithp.com/blogs/Present/]] extensions * [[XWayland integration|http://blog.mecheye.net/2014/04/xwayland/]] * [[libinput driver|http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2014-November/002496.html]] * [[Glamor|http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/]] and [[ModeSetting]] driver merged into xorg-server ## Features Removed * [[Lots of compiler warnings|http://keithp.com/blogs/xserver-warnings/]] * TBD ## TODO These have been discussed, but are not yet integrated to the source repos, and may or may not happen (either for this release or in the future): * Video driver hotplugging * Add xf86-video-nested to the katamari driver set * Replace Xephyr, Xvfb, Xnest, Xfake, etc. with Xorg using xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested * [[Documentation|Development/Documentation/WritingDocumentation]]: Further integration across doc sets. Docs from Book Sprint. * Referee DoubleBuffer vs. libfb/Composite There are also a number of items on the [[ToDo|ToDo]] list waiting for someone to pick up the work, but those are less likely to make the release without anyone actively working on them. ## Schedule * TBD (Someone needs to volunteer to be release manager before any release plans can be made.)
