XQuartz updated

XQuartz 2.8.0 has been released for macOS 10.9 or later. I've been in touch with a couple of users and they report no issues so far. This is the first version with Apple Silicon support.

The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on OS X. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7.

Changes in 2.8.0

  • Adds native support for Apple Silicon Macs.
  • Removes support for versions of macOS older than 10.9
  • Uses system libXplugin
  • Removes build-time support for deprecated X11 libraries:
    • ibXaw8
    • libXevie
    • libXfontcache
    • libxkbui
    • libXp
    • libXTrap
    • libXxf86misc
  • Removes deprecated commands:
    • gccmakedep
    • makedepend
    • xdmshell
    • xfindproxy
    • Xfake
  • Removes xpyb
  • Removes older libpng
