X Server 1.4.1 Delayed To November 11

Posted by Michael Larabel on October 08, 2007

As opposed to being pushed out on the first of November, Daniel Stone (the release manager), has delayed the release of X server 1.4.1 by ten days. X server 1.4.1 will now be released on November 11 (permitting no more delays) and will contain a variety of bug-fixes and input fixes for extended events currently found in X server 1.4.0. The list of waiting and merged patches as well as other X server 1.4 details can be found on the X.Org Wiki. With X.Org currently being criticized for its degrading release quality, this X server 1.4.1 delay is hopefully good news and will result in a more polished release.

Daniel had also mentioned on the X.Org mailing list that the X server 1.5.0 release schedule has yet to be finalized and will likely not be known until the grunt of the libpciaccess work is completed.
