- Xlibre 25.0.0.0 released as a fork of Xorg Xserver with major code cleanup and new features.
- Key features include Xnamespace extension for security isolation, Xnest ported to xcb, per-ABI driver directories, and numerous fixes.
- Fork initiated due to Xorg's stagnation and resistance to contributions, highlighted by IBM/Redhat's blocking of updates.
- Xlibre aims to be inclusive and welcoming to all contributors, contrasting with Xorg's elitist history.
- Initial release considered beta; community feedback and collaboration encouraged.
- Source available on GitHub; special considerations made for Nvidia driver compatibility.
- Thanks to the community for support, especially in debugging and maintaining Nvidia driver compatibility.
