  10.           +o _I_r_i_x _6._2 is the first release fully to be based on the
  11.             _X_1_1_R_6 release from the X Consortium. The _I_r_i_x _5._3
  12.             release had _X_1_1_R_6-based clients and libraries, but an
  13.             _X_1_1_R_5-based X server.
  14.  
  15.           +o New R6 functionality supported in Irix 6.2 includes
  16.             Inter Client Exchange (ICE), Session Management (SM),
  17.             the SYNC extension (client-side only), the BIG-REQUESTS
  18.             extension (client-side only) and the XC-MISC extension
  19.             (client-side only).
  20.  
  21.           +o Extensions supported only on the client-side can only
  22.             be used if the client connects to an X11R6 server that
  23.             supports these extensions (i.e., a non-SGI server). It
  24.             is expected that these extensions will be fully
  25.             supported in a later release of Irix, when the X server
  26.             will also be X11R6 based.
  27.  
  28.           +o There are no plans to support the X Imaging Extension
  29.             (XIE) and the MIT-KERBEROS-5 authorization scheme which
  30.             were released with X11R6.
  31.  
  32.           +o _I_r_i_x _6._2 has full support for the new X Consortium
  33.             double-buffering extension, DBE.
  34.  
  35.           +o _I_r_i_x _6._2 supports a new SGI-only extension, XSGIvc, for
  36.             video control of the graphics back end. See "man
  37.             XSGIvc" for details.
  38.  
  39.           +o _I_r_i_x _6._2 supports execution of NMBX double-buffered
  40.             applications, but no longer supports building such
  41.             applications (NMBX was an SGI-only double-buffering
  42.             extension).
  43.  
  44.           +o The following Xlib functions are new in Release 6:
  45.                       XInternAtoms, XGetAtomNames (_a_l_r_e_a_d_y
  46.                       _s_u_p_p_o_r_t_e_d _i_n _I_r_i_x _5._2)
  47.                       XExtendedMaxRequestSize XInitImage
  48.                       XReadBitmapFileData IsPrivateKeypadKey
  49.                       XConvertCase XAddConnectionWatch,
  50.                       XRemoveConnectionWatch,
  51.                       XProcessInternalConnection
  52.                       XInternalConnectionNumbers XInitThreads,
  53.                       XLockDisplay, XUnlockDisplay XOpenOM,
  54.                       XCloseOM XSetOMValues, XGetOMValues
  55.                       XDisplayOfOM, XLocaleOfOM XCreateOC,
  56.                       XDestroyOC XOMOfOC XSetOCValues, XGetOCValues
  57.                       XDirectionalDependentDrawing,

  79.           +o Source code examples for X input device clients and
  80.             drivers are now found in the "X11 Source Code Examples"
  81.             (_x__d_e_v._s_r_c._e_x_a_m_p_l_e_s) subsystem.
