All these xf86-video DDX updates are just for maintenance items like GitLab integration updates, build system fixes, compiler warning fixes, etc. On the video driver side there is xf86-video-cirrus 1.6, xf86-video-mach64 6.9.7, and xf86-video-mga 2.0.1. The xf86-input-synaptics 1.9.2 driver was also released with various fixes. Plus other build updates and minor items in this release. This 2.0 release removes the Linux support given that there is superior support within xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-libinput. The xf86-input-keyboard 2.0 driver was released for primarily non-Linux X.Org systems like Solaris and BSDs. There were also some vintage X.Org DDX driver updates too. Xmodmap 1.0.11, xpr 1.1, xscope 1.43, and xwud 1.0.6 also were released with various minor fixes. Xfs 1.2.1 as the X Font Server has some minor build updates, code fixes, and now uses memcpy() rather than memmove() for when buffers are known not to overlap. Plus there are build updates, GitLab integration updates, and other minor fixes. This new release adds a reset button for resetting all selections and a "-scaled" option to fetch the screen resolution and add that to the available resolutions for the X/Y resolution menus. Xfontsel 1.1 is out for this application to display the X11 core protocol fonts. There are basic build updates and GitLab integration updates. Xconsole 1.0.8 for an X11 window that displays messages sent to the /dev/console. Various bug fixes and other minor code fixes here. Xcmsdb 1.0.6 was released for this software handling Device Color Characterization data. This release has various bug updates, compiler warning fixes, and other minor items. Xclipboard 1.1.4 was released for this utility to collect and display text selections that are sent to the X11 CLIPBOARD by other clients. Or it's just extra summertime maintenance. Given Coopersmith working on this now, perhaps Oracle is working on shipping a big update of X.Org packages for Solaris - which in the past has been motivation for getting out new versions. Other items include addressing warnings with newer compilers, build system updates, changes for the long-completed X.Org/ GitLab migration, and other random small fixes. Perhaps most notable with this weekend's releases is the xf86-video-keyboard 2.0 release that drops Linux support. For the most part the new versions are just collecting the few random fixes to be collected over the past few years. While no new X.Org "katamari" releases are planned for a collection of all the X.Org component updates combined, this weekend longtime X.Org contributor Alan Coopersmith of Oracle issued many new updates to various old, seldom-maintained X.Org projects.Ī slew of X.Org packages that rarely see new releases and go years without any measurable activity were updated.
