First Xouvert Milestone Released

Posted by timothy on from the will-it-rock-your-world dept.

An anonymous reader writes " The first milestone of xouvert, the X-server replacement has been released. Xouvert includes MAS giving the X server its very own sound server. Nice. :) Also, just noticed that enlightenment quietly released an update to the 0.16 series. " (Here's a link to the Xouvert download page.)

    While you are right in the literal translation, did you think about RTFA ?

    long patch intergration times, and close control by the steering group. I am greatly looking forward to seeing a true open source methodolgy accelerate development.

    Yeah, me too. I always hated how mostly stable XFree86 is, and how I don't have to upgrade every week to the lastest version. Thank goodness someone figured out a solution to that problem!

    I am really happy that MAS in Xouvert now

    Now they just have to rename the project to XMas and everyone will be happy :-)

    Xouvert includes MAS giving the X server its very own sound server.

    Just in time for X-MAS. How convenient.
