This is the best summary I could come up with:
There are still no signs of a new X.Org Server feature release coming in the near-term with most of the major stakeholders divesting from the xorg-server besides the XWayland portion of the code-base.
But for those interested in the past few days there have been some NetBSD/OpenBSD build fixes to the X.Org Server as well as clearing out some remnants of old compiler support.
Due to the switch from the GNU Autoconf to Meson build system for the X.Org Server, Meson doesn't support these outdated targets and in turn weren't buildable as it was.
There's also been bits of other spring cleaning in the codebase, such as this interesting patch by Oracle's Alan Coopersmith.
I can't tell what this code was originally for - it was added in 1988, 4 years before the release of the SysV R4 release of Solaris 2.0, and I can't find anywhere that defined SUNSYSV."
It will be interesting to see if any new X.Org Server feature release(s) take place in 2024 outside of the XWayland scope given the diminishing developer interest and lots of talk but little action by those anti-Wayland holdouts in the community to actually contribute to X.Org Server development.
