Thanks in large part to the release leadership of Adam Jackson, a new development X server is now available that ultimately will become known as X Server 1.5.0. This new xorg-server release, v1.4.99.901, has a plethora of changes ranging from fixing memory leaks to EXA improvements. In total there are hundreds of changes to be found within xorg-server 1.4.99.901, with the complete list being available in the X.Org mailing list. More information on the plans for X.Org 7.4 can be found in this article.

X.Org 7.4 / X Server 1.5 is planned for release in May, meanwhile X Server 1.4.1 still has yet to be released.
