I use XQuartz 2.7.11 daily too, now with Catalina... but I worry that it 
hasn't been updated since 2016.

Since there has been a flurry of emails on this email list in the last 
few days, I thought it might be a good time to ask whether there will 
ever be an update for XQuartz?  (I really hope so!)

Warmest regards,
