Hey all, I'd like to announce that XQuartz 2.7.10_rc1 is available. Full changes since 2.7.9 can be seen in the release notes:
https://www.xquartz.org/releases/XQuartz-2.7.10_rc1.html
The main change since 2.7.10_beta2 is around the libXt compatibility hack for
Motif. Because of issues with applications that use both Motif and libXaw,
I've abandoned the previous approach of shipping /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib as
flat_namespace and /opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib as the two-level namespace
version. Now, /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib is two-level namespace, and
/opt/X11/lib/libXt.7.dylib is provided as a symlink to it for compatibility.
This means that Motif based applications will fail to launch by default unless
this bug is fixed in Motif.
As a workaround, we're shipping the flat namespace dylib hack at
/opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace/libXt.6.dylib. Users who require that version have
two options:
1) Replace the two-level namespace version with it (sudo cp
/opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace/libXt.6.dylib /opt/X11/lib/libXt.6.dylib)
2) Launch your Motif applications using
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace
This should not be seen as a long-term solution. Hopefully someone will step
up to fix Motif to not require this hack.
Please give this a try and comment on the effectiveness of this approach if you
use Motif-based applications.
Thanks,
Jeremy
