苹果将从OS X 10.8开始将放弃X11，敦促用户使用开源的XQuartz

[vikyzhang]

“正如几位使用OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion开发者预览的用户所发现的，苹果将不再包含其可用于通过X窗口系统界面运行软件的X11应用。X窗口系统有一个广阔的开源历史，其在Mac端的开发由项目XQuartz负责。苹果的X11应用就是基于这一努力。X11虽然同许多在商业软件中同样被应用的开源项目一样，但它一直比最新的XQuartz 发行要晚些。当前版本的X11 是2.6.3；而此时XQuartz 已经出到了版本2.7.0。”这一行动非常有意义。我指，大伙一定早已用上了XQuartz ，不是吗？

Apple drops X11 from OS X 10.8, urges users to use XQuartz

"As noticed by several users running the developer preview version of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Apple is no longer including its X11 application for running software through the X Window System interface. [...] The X Window System has an extensive open source history, with development on the Mac side being handled under the XQuartz project. Apple's X11 application has been based on this effort, although as with many open source projects bundled for use in commercial software, X11 has generally been somewhat behind the latest XQuartz releases. The current version of X11 is 2.6.3, while XQuartz is currently available in version 2.7.0." Makes perfect sense. I mean, you guys were using XQuartz already anyway, right?
