On page 54 of the October, 1990 issue of "Personal Workstation," in an
article entitled "Graphics Under UNIX?," the authors of the article
state
"Meanwhile, as a courtesy to software developers, the X Consortium
has agreed to freeze through 1991 X Windows' [sic] core
specifications at the X11 level."
Is this true? I'm not looking for privileged information, per se (my
company is not a Consortium member). If this indeed true, I'm really
more interested to hear where X11's extension mechanism (and the
protocol / Xlib specifications, which is what I assume the authors
meant by "core specifications") failed.
I also seem to remember Bob Scheifler claiming that there would be no
"X12" (as the quote would appear to suggest); I may be mistaken. Will
there be an X12 in the foreseeable future?
