xcompmgr 1.1.10 Released For Classic "Eye Candy" Compositor On X.Org

([X.Org] 7 Hours Ago xcompmgr)


Xcompmgr 1.1.10 was released yesterday as the newest update to this basic X11 compositor providing "eye candy" effects for classic X.Org usage.

The xcompmgr continues to serve as a basic compositing manager for X.Org servers. Alan Coopersmith at Oracle continues to be maintaining various X.Org software components that otherwise see limited maintenance and very seldom releases these days.

All of the changes in xcompmgr 1.1.10 were drafted by Alan Coopersmith over the past two years, but there are only seven code changes in this update. The xcompmgr 1.1.10 release switches to using C99-style struct initializers, better handling realloc() failures, and other basic code maintenance fixes/updates.

Fans of xcompmgr as a basic X.Org compositor can find the new release on the [1]Xorg mailing list .

... so long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those
who wish to tyranize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent,
and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious
and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.
