It's
coming late, but it looks like we may finally see
X.Org 7.5 in the next month. The biggest component making up
X.Org 7.5 is
X Server 1.7, which is finally getting underway with test releases after its code was frozen earlier this week.
Peter Hutterer this time around had announced the release of X Server 1.6.99.900, which is the first testing snapshot of X Server 1.7 and will be followed by a few release candidates. He has also codenamed X Server 1.7 the "Depressed Dodo".
Among the features that X Server 1.7 delivers is revised input handling,
X Input 2 with support for
Multi-Pointer X,
VGA Arbitration support, EXA mixed pixmaps support, and then many bug fixes and other work.
The xorg-server 1.6.99.900 release announcement with the short change-log can be read on the
mailing list.
