Hi Rich, Jeremy, all,
Yes, I think a lot of us care about this a deal.
Any news welcome.

Hmm, what is going to replace IGLX? How are people going to display OpenGL graphics over remote X11 if not by GLX?

Specifically, I could not run glxgears on a remote linux box, which is the canonical GLX test I always use.That is IGLX.But the good news it that switching back to 2.7.8 was painless and made my problems with 2.7.9 go away.On May 17, 2016, at 9:40 PM, Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia <[email protected]> wrote: FWIW, there are security vulnerabilities addressed in the versions of libpng in 2.7.9, so you might want to update at least for the security reasons. The only issues that I'm aware of as regressions are the issues with IGLX (which isn't really going to be supported much longer) and a regression in the support for tcp connections (which is off by default and discouraged). --JeremyOn May 17, 2016, at 14:39, Christopher Fick <[email protected]> wrote: Magda, thank you so much for your thoughts! I did notice that v2.7.9 was just released earlier this month, and bugs were one thing I wondered about. I'm pretty out of the loop on this stuff. And, no I don't think I have anything to gain from an upgrade. Nothing prompted me to look into an upgrade aside from curiosity and an attempt to stay up to date. I just use XQ to run Inkscape, and so far I haven't had any issues in the little I've used it. It also appears that Inkscape is still standing at the same version (0.91) as when I initially installed it with XQ So, I will take your advice. If it ain't broken... Many Thanks!

Hi Christopher, With your OSX you would certainly not need to update. We recently were discussing some bugs in XQ 2.7.9 that have not been resolved while the version 2.7.8 works perfectly fine and I am running El Capitan 10.11.5. XQ 2.7.9 did not allow me to work with certain commands that needed forwarding over ssh and given the limited people who have been working on that fix this may cause problems for some time. I would strongly recommend from my personal experience to stick with XQ 2.7.8 if you have nothing in particular to gain from upgrading. I hope this helps a bit. Good luck! Best regards, Magda.

If I check for updates through the XQ "app" it says I'm up to date with 2.7.8. So, if I manually download and install 2.7.9 from the website should I just install it over the previous version? And on a side note, should I be able to update through 2.7.8, or is it common knowledge that it doesn't work that way since this is more of a framework (for lack of better words) rather than a normal application.
