Changes in 2.1.2
- All changes in 2.1.1 plus:
- app:
- xinit git 2008.01.10
- Updated xinit to support launchd
- Now using xinit to start the server rather than running X11.app directly
- X11.app is relocatable now
- Fixed fast-user-switching X11 regression
- Properly honor xauth and tcp/ip preferences
- xauth git 2008.01.11
- fixed duplicate entry crash during xauth remove
- xinit git 2008.01.10
- lib:
- proto:
- server:
- xorg-server-1.3.0-apple7
- XQuartz comes to the foreground later in the startup process to not cause ‘XQuartz -version’ to flash a dock icon
- Fixed -depth command line argument to work properly (still no 8-bit support)
- added ‘startx_script’ defaults option which defaults to /usr/X11/bin/startx.
- This is used when launchd support is disabled and the user uses X11.app to start the server (such as with Tiger).
- added localization from Leopard’s shipped X11.
- added ‘login_shell’ key to org.x.X11 plist which defaults to /bin/sh and is used for launching from the Applications menu. tcsh users will probably want to change this to /bin/tcsh.
- There was a bug in the implementation of this last feature, so if you are interested in this, please install the Xquartz-1.3.0-apple8 binary after this package or wait for our next release.
