X server version 1.4 release plans
1.4.1
1.4.1 will be released on November 11th, 2007. It is scheduled to contain some random minor fixups, as well as a load of input fixes for extended events. Please nominate your patches on this page, as usual.
DanielStone is responsible for this release. The blocker bug for this release is xorg-server-1.4.1.
1.4.0
X server version 1.4.0 includes the following new features:
Input hotplug: Input hotplug allows hotplugging of input devices, and also adds enhanced support for touchscreens and tablets, through either HAL or D-Bus.
- KDrive: Numerous enhancements have been made to the KDrive codebase, including better support for multiple input devices.
DTrace: When running on OpenSolaris, DTrace support is available in the X server, allowing detailed accounting of operations inside the server.
- EXA: A great deal of work has been done on the EXA framework to make it more usable.
ABI
The input & video driver API/ABI's are not compatible with X server version 1.3. All other module type API/ABI's are compatible with X server version 1.3.
