X Server 1.6.3 Released With More Fixes

Written by Michael Larabel in X.Org on 1 August 2009 at 08:09 AM EDT. 2 Comments

With Keith Packard going on a week-long holiday, he decided to christen the X Server 1.6.3 release just before leaving. X Server 1.6.3 is now available and is a collection of minor fixes that have built up since X Server 1.6.2. The next feature release, which will bring items like Multi-Pointer X, is X Server 1.7 and that will be released in conjunction with X.Org 7.5, which is likely to come in September or October.

The link to download the source to xorg-server-1.6.3 along with the release announcement can be found on xorg-announce.
