3. _C_h_a_n_g_e_s__a_n_d__A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s
+o Starting 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._5 is based on the _X_1_1_R_6._3 release from The Open
Group. The _I_r_i_x _6._2 release was based on _X_1_1_R_6.
+o New R6 functionality supported in Irix 6.5 includes the
RECORD extension, the XSYNC extension, the XC-MISC
extension and the LBX extension.
+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._5 has full support for the new X Consortium
double-buffering extension, DBE.
+o Starting with _I_r_i_x _6._5, libX11 and libXt are thread-
safe. See the man page for XInitThreads for details on
how to program X with threads.
+o _I_r_i_x _6._5 supports a new version (rev. 1.2) 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._5 system. See "man XSGIvc" for
details.
+o _I_r_i_x _6._5 no longer supports execution of NMBX double-
buffered applications (NMBX was an SGI-only double-
buffering extension).
+o _I_r_i_x _6._5 supports displaying MBX applications, but no
longer supports building such applications (MBX was a
proposed X extension that was never adopted, and that
has been replaced by the officially supported DBE
extension).
+o Source code examples for X input device clients and
drivers are now found in the "X11 Source Code Examples"
(_x__d_e_v._s_r_c._e_x_a_m_p_l_e_s) subsystem.
+o Stereo-capable visuals are now supported on O2.
