The X.Org community has announced the release of X11R7.2, which is the third modular release of the X Window System. The new X Window System supports multiple operating systems such as Linux, BSD, Solaris or even Microsoft Windows. The full source code is free to use, modify or redistribute and can be obtained free of charge from X.Org's main FTP server or its mirrors world-wide.

This new version brings significant stability and correctness fixes, including improved autoconfiguration heuristics. It also offers an enhanced support for GL-based compositing managers such as Compiz and Beryl, as well as an improved support for PCI systems with multiple domains. More extensible XACE security policy framework has also been incorporated.

The X.Org Foundation is currently the organization holding the stewardship for the development of the X Window System, while the project is hosted by freedesktop.org.
