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 .

"Seven years and six months!" Humpty Dumpty repeated thoughtfully.
"An uncomfortable sort of age. Now if you'd asked MY advice, I'd have
said 'Leave off at seven' -- but it's too late now."
"I never ask advice about growing," Alice said indignantly.
"Too proud?" the other enquired.
Alice felt even more indignant at this suggestion. "I mean,"
she said, "that one can't help growing older."
"ONE can't, perhaps," said Humpty Dumpty; "but TWO can. With
proper assistance, you might have left off at seven."
