Working On The X.Org 7.6 Katamari

“If all goes according to plan, X.Org Server 1.9 will be
released in about two weeks, but after that there still is the
X.Org 7.6 release “katamari” to be done. While X.Org releases
themselves aren’t as important any longer with the X Server
releases being done at different points and the rest of the X.Org
package collection being modular, the X.Org 7.6 release is expected
in October.

“Alan Coopersmith, the X.Org wrangler at Sun/Oracle, has done
some X.Org 7.6 planning on the xorg-devel mailing list. On the date
of the xorg-server 1.9 release, which is scheduled on the 20th of
August but could potentially slip by a few days, all driver and
protocol updates needed for the 1.9 release should also have been
released. At this point, Alan would also like the first release
candidate of Xlib 1.4.0 to be tagged.”
