Sorry I didn't post it to a mailing list. The stuff I blog isn't really approprite for -devel-announce, and I really want to make sure that our users know what's going on, so planet seems like the natural place. This is the second request though, so I'll try and send updates to -devel as well. Also of major note, Julien clarified my post a bit in the comments. Most of 7.2 is actually in unstable, including the drivers (in addition, we have pre-release drivers for intel in experimental). The missing thing though is the server (which is, of course, the centerpiece of the release), which will go in with the coming version 1.3 release, with or without XCB. We need to push XCB forward though, and how to deal with the java bug mentioned in that post isn't clear yet. > To David and the other XSF people: keep on as you have the last years!

Thank you, and I promise you we'll improve it. There's a few big changes on the way (randr 1.2) and a few small ones too. As for nvidia, we've got two volunteers to help maintain nouveau for us[0] so even that problem will lessen in the future. - David Nusinow [0] This is the sort of reason why Debian rocks, btw. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
