Comment on New Xquartz release with native Apple Silicon supportparentComments−coldtea5yThe previous release was in 2016, so I was sure that XQuartz was dead for good.Why though? It's not like the XWindows protocol changes that much (or at all).Having to do a new release for a new architecture like Apple Sillicon, sure, but that's another thing.−colejohnson665yNot sure how XQuartz works, but Apple does like to deprecate APIs when a new one comes out. So if XQuartz relied on any deprecated ones, that would be an issue when they get removed.
