I'm not aware of anything major preventing release, but I put out 2.8.0_beta4 to allow a wider audience on older operating systems to look at it. > the problem is that almost every user has received an announcement about the > 2.8.0 release and most of them have made the update. Yeah, it's really unfortunate that 2.7.11 was configured to use the beta sparkle feed, but at least the current release is pretty much complete. > But as I cannot start 2.8.0 on macOS 10.9 I cannot compile my app against it I'm not sure what you mean by this. You should be able to compile your app just fine using 2.7.11, and it should work just fine on systems with newer XQuartz. > , and so many users complain about my app that does not work anymore. If there is a bincompat issue that is causing your app to not work for users that have upgraded from 2.7.11 to 2.8.0, that is definitely worthy of a bug report. What's the specific issue? > If downgrading to 2.7.11 was simple it wouldn't be an issue, but it isn't... > So can you (or others) teach me the right way to downgrade to 2.7.11? It should be fairly straight forward. First, follow the instructions for uninstalling 2.8 at https://www.xquartz.org/FAQs.html and then re-install 2.7.11. > Also, do you plan to update 2.8.0 soon? I'd like to have a few weeks with it out as beta then a few weeks as release candidate before declaring it done. This is a fairly large change from 2.7.11, so I'd like to get some bake time in. > best regards, > nicolas > > > > _______________________________________________ > Xquartz-dev mailing list > Xquartz-dev@lists.macosforge.org > https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/xquartz-dev
