-
- +o With _I_r_i_x _6._4, the default format for 32-bit compiled
- objects is N32. Given this, the *.sw32 subsystems have
- been merged into the *sw subsystems.
-
- +o _I_r_i_x _6._4 is based on the _X_1_1_R_6._1 release from the X
- Consortium. The _I_r_i_x _6._2 release was based on _X_1_1_R_6.
-
- +o New R6 functionality supported in Irix 6.4 includes the
- RECORD extension, the XSYNC extension, and the XC-MISC
- extension.
-
- +o Extensions supported only on the client-side can only
- be used if the client connects to an X11R6 server that
- supports these extensions (i.e., a non-SGI server). It
- is expected that these extensions will be fully
- supported in a later release of Irix, when the X server
- will also be X11R6 based.
-
- +o There are no plans to support the X Imaging Extension
- (XIE) and the MIT-KERBEROS-5 authorization scheme which
- were released with X11R6.
-
- +o _I_r_i_x _6._4 has full support for the new X Consortium
- double-buffering extension, DBE.
-
- +o _I_r_i_x _6._4 supports a new version (rev. 1.1) of the SGI-
- only extension, XSGIvc, for video control of the
- graphics back end. Existing XSGIvc applications should
- still run on an _I_r_i_x _6._4 system. See "man XSGIvc" for
- details.
-
- +o _I_r_i_x _6._4 supports execution of NMBX double-buffered
- applications, but no longer supports building such
- applications (NMBX was an SGI-only double-buffering
- extension).
-
- +o The following Xlib functions are new in Release 6:
- XInternAtoms, XGetAtomNames (_a_l_r_e_a_d_y
- _s_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d _i_n _I_r_i_x _5._2)
- XExtendedMaxRequestSize XInitImage
- XReadBitmapFileData IsPrivateKeypadKey
- XConvertCase XAddConnectionWatch,
- XRemoveConnectionWatch,
- XProcessInternalConnection
- XInternalConnectionNumbers XInitThreads,
- XLockDisplay, XUnlockDisplay XOpenOM,
- XCloseOM XSetOMValues, XGetOMValues
- XDisplayOfOM, XLocaleOfOM XCreateOC,
- XDestroyOC XOMOfOC XSetOCValues, XGetOCValues

- +o Source code examples for X input device clients and

- (_x__d_e_v._s_r_c._e_x_a_m_p_l_e_s) subsystem.
