Apple is dropping support for X11 in their upcoming OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion release. Replacing X11 will be the open source project XQuartz. (Quartz is the name of the underlying graphics engine in OS X.)



This is a good thing. Folks who use X11 apps under OS X (like me) have likely been using XQuartz for several years already. It is far better supported and maintained than the X11 bundled with OS X. The XQuartz project is primarily supported by a fellow named Jeremy Huddleston, who works for Apple (at least I think so, since he has an apple.com email address). Not only is Jeremy an X11 expert, he's also terrific at handling user's questions and offering correct answers in a prompt manner.

If you use X11 under OS X, I urge you to immediately switch to XQuartz. The latest release just appeared---XQuartz-2.7.1. In fact, I'm just about to update.
