New X.Org Server 1.13 RC Bumps The ABI

Posted by Michael Larabel on August 22, 2012

Keith Packard released the X.Org Server 1.12.99.905 release on Tuesday, another release candidate of the forthcoming xorg-server 1.13.

The xorg-server 1.12.99.905 is mainly for bumping the ABI version. The API/ABI hasn't changed since the first release candidate, but the xfree86 ABI wasn't bumped when it should have been and NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner spotted it a few days ago.

Aside from the ABI bump, there's just a few more fixes mainly for Apple's XQuartz and a few other random fixes.

Details in this mailing list announcement.
