freedesktop.org xlibs 1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the how-long-until-etc dept.

Daniel Stone writes "A short time ago, freedesktop.org xlibs 1.0 was released. Simply put, this is the collection of libX11, libXext, and other little-used libraries that kind of power your whole desktop. The xlibs team at fd.o are now maintaining all these libraries, and more, and we're going to be making releases as part of the fd.o platform, which is far more wide-ranging, but it still forms an important part of the platform. Share and enjoy!"

    DBUS is something the GNOME people thought up when they saw KDE's DCOP.

    Not to badmouth it (well, I am biased), but I've heard that the KDE people plan to integrate DBUS into KDE to make GNOME apps integrate better. I'm all for it.

    No duh. I've heard of all that stuff. But you forgot to define X-Windows! So what is this X-Windows thing that everybody's been talking about???
