X.org X11 Server Release 6.8

Posted by timothy on from the to-display-in-window dept.

kormoc writes "The developers of X.org have just release the long-desired version 6.8.0. This release brings real translucency and allows one to set values on different windows. Also, nifty drop shadows as well as XDamage, an extention that limits redrawing of windows to only the areas that were damaged. The Xcomposite extention is still not stable, but it works well for some people. Why not give it a shot?"

    yeah, a neckshot.

    Comeon... since when do unstable, alpha releases need a front-page announcement ? Either send out a call for testers, or stfu about it.

    I don't find this comment interesting, funny or even worthy of a mod point.

    There is a time to be funny, and a time to just shut your trap.

    Morons, morons... hmm, let's count them. People who responded to you, thinking you were serious... that's about 6, at 1/2 each for a total of 3 morons... plus you, for being such a complete waste of oxygen and bandwidth, makes a total of four.

    Ah! But! The most important metric, the number of FUCKING morons! That's just one, sir. You. Yes, you, the troll. Get back under your bridge, sir, or I shall be forced to say...
