If it's true that X11R5 will be released in July, then in september IBM will go from being 2 versions behind to being their usual 1! :-) By the way, I hear also that part of the delay in getting X11R4 out is getting all of the IBM modifications into it. Now, I can understand that supporting 3D hardware, IBM's graPHIGS library, their GL library, etc. would take a while to do, but can we just maybe get a distribution of the basic X11R? stuff as soon as THAT's working and then get an update of the rest later? I would bet that a LOT of people don't use the 3D stuff and simply want the standard MIT X11R4 (and soon R5!) distribution running on their machine! Just log me as yet another opinionated customer.
