Hi folks,

I've released XQuartz-2.8.1_rc1.  The primary motivation for this release was to get out a fix for CVE-2021-3472.  I've attached the X.org security advisory for this issue.  In addition to this fix, rc1 also includes a fix to properly set the fontdir when the server starts.

If there are no major regressions reported in the next week, I'll ship this out as 2.8.1.

Thanks
Jeremy
