Surely tip of server-1.12-branch is superior to this branch point+1 on master? And I'd really expect tip of master to be a better candidate than that given the development nature of glamor. Can you please clarify? This version is what I'm used to do the last round testing, so I recommended it in the announcement. Actually, glamor 0.5.0 is also compatible with the tip of server-1.12-branch. I just not do fully testing with it but it should work fine. As to the master branch, glamor 0.5.0 is not compatible with it since the following commit: a1d41e...: Move extension initialisation prototypes into extinit. The last compatible version is at commit b86aa74... As to the reason why glamor can't work with tip ot master, please refer: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2012-July/032597.html. BTW, to fix that issue is the first to do item for next version glamor. Thanks, Zhigang > > Thanks, > Jeremy >
