The code freeze for XFree86 4.3.0 will be any day now. I believe the Mac OS X/Darwin part of the code base is pretty much in final form. Benjamin put together a package in fink unstable which builds something very close to the top of the tree. I would encourage as many people as possible to give it a try. The libraries and clients from this version will be used for Apple's final release of X11 although the X server will not be synced up until after 4.3.0 is out. Please let me know promptly if you find any bugs.Actually I updated it to a new snapshot as of this morning, so if you get it now, you get one that should include that fix (I watch the X commits list and saw the bugfixes).
There has been only one bug fix since Benjamin's package was put together: In 16-bit color pixmaps could sometimes appear shifted by 1 pixel from what was intended.
Jeffrey Whitaker is actually the maintainer of XFree86 in Fink, but I just wanted to reiterate that the packages in experimental are for the most part for my own edification, and because I was doing some testing for Torrey.
Jeff, I don't know what your plans are for release, but if you want them, feel free to take over the packages in my exp tree. I'm pretty certain they would need looking at, I didn't double-check that the shlibs stuff is right and that type of thing, so these aren't release-ready in the fink sense, although they're perfectly good for helping Torrey test.
As of the last snapshots, things have worked pretty good as far as backwards-compatibility with software built against xfree86 4.2, but keep in mind that if you plan on testing this, and you build something against it, it won't work if you want to go back to 4.2.1.1 (including Apple's X11). =)
