Most modern toolkit are terrible when used remote (QT got better last years). But we should not overreact to what Thomas Dickey and I did the last months. In my eyes this is a maintenance release, a lot of work, less warnings etc. but not a single new function that solve any current problem. re, wh ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s

This work, and since Motif is still supported (sort of; not a real fan of ICS these days) are obvious proof that Xt is not deprecated. While we still maintain libXt for existing applications, we do not recommend its use for writing new software today, which is why is is described as such on https://www.x.org/wiki/Documentation/ Someone writing a new application today would be much better served with a modern toolkit with support for a much wider range of internationalization support, input methods, accessibility helper technology, modern graphics APIs and GPU hardware, etc. - you'll end up with an application far more people can use and which far more people want to use. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
