\"X.ORG\"
\nThis Valentine’s Day there is a lot of red on the screen for the X.Org Server with the code delta as a result of renaming of their main Git development branch and in the process selectively dropping questionable patches to the prior “master” codebase.<\/p>\n

The effort noted in January of X.Org Server May Create A New Selective Git Branch With Hopes Of A New Release This Year<\/a> has now been realized. As of a short time ago today, the “master” Git branch is ended with new X.Org Server development now on “main” and in the process starting off from a starting point of 2024 and then laying on the acceptable patches that were queued up over the past two years. See that aforelinked article for more details. <\/p>\n

This patch<\/a> has marked X.Org Server’s “master” branch as now closed and superseded by the main branch. <\/p>\n

\"X.Org<\/p>\n

The X.Org Server main Git branch can be viewed here<\/a> for those interested. That branch is now in a cleaned-up state without many of the patches accumulated that were deemed questionable and then later reverted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This Valentine’s Day there is a lot of red on the screen for the X.Org Server with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7165,61,60,7164,7162,7161,7168,7166,7163,7167,7160,7171,80,7169,7170],"class_list":["post-298540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-desktop-linux","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-linux-benchmarking","tag-linux-hardware-benchmarks","tag-linux-hardware-reviews","tag-linux-how-to","tag-linux-performance","tag-linux-server-benchmarks","tag-open-source-graphics","tag-phoronix","tag-phoronix-test-suite","tag-technology","tag-ubuntu-benchmarks","tag-ubuntu-hardware"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
