The mention of XQuartz (for macOS) reminded me to check that, and 2.8.6 was released mid-July:

* https://www.xquartz.org/releases/bare/XQuartz-2.8.6.html

Previously 2.8.5 was out in 2023:

* https://www.xquartz.org/releases/bare/XQuartz-2.8.5.html

There's a XQuartz 2.8.7 beta as well (xorg-server 26.1 rebase):

omg, it's been over a decade since I have last used XQuartz. Did they finally open source the whole quartz-wm?

> An XQuartz installation consists of many individual pieces of software which have various licenses. The X.Org software components’ licenses are discussed on the X.Org Foundation Licenses page.[1] The quartz-wm[2] window manager included with the XQuartz distribution uses the Apple Public Source License Version 2.[3]

		Just looked it up, that Apple license is indeed approved as open source/free software by the FSF and OSI!
