X.Org Server 1.8.2 Officially Released

Posted by Michael Larabel on July 01, 2010

Peter Hutterer has announced the official release of X.Org Server 1.8.2, after it has went through two release candidates over the past month. No new changes have been introduced since X.Org Server 1.8.2 RC2 and since the release of X.Org Server 1.8.1 in mid-May it just carries more bug-fixes, a couple DRI2 updates, and addresses other maintenance items.

The xorg-server 1.8.2 release announcement can be read on xorg-announce. This is the last planned X.Org Server 1.8.x series point release unless someone is interested in taking over all of the responsibilities of being the release manager. X.Org Server 1.9 is due out in just over one month.
