Ahh, 2004 is when Xorg forked off of XFree86, but XFree86 had already been going on since 1991, and already that was an implementation of X which already existed since 1984, and you can trace back even further than that if you want. It’s been a long ride home.
- roenxi 6y agoXorg development largely halted circa 2008 though, since then most of the "Xorg" features have been deleting code in X and moving it to Mesa/libdrm/the kernel. Wayland's latest release "mostly contains bug fixes and minor protocol updates." [0]. That is ~12 months worth of changes. Pretty similar to 1.18. It isn't like the protocol is a hotbed of massive changes, it looks largely complete according to the release notes.
