I asked in the IRC channel and got no response after a few days of
idling, but can someone please make a new release with the latest
focus fix?

Without it, Location Services steals focus many times a day and is
quite annoying. It also seems to be affecting many others too:

Can you use MacPorts and install the xorg-server port? It contains the change (and has for some time). Rolling up a new XQuartz release is unfortunately time consuming, and I haven't had the time to do so. I was considering just not doing another release and just directing users to using MacPorts to install future updates given that it's much easier for me to just update a port than to roll a full XQuartz package.

For what it's worth, I would much rather see releases, than attempting
to use MacPorts side by side with Homebrew (which I would be doing
solely for Xquartz).

Same here --- I don't really want to buy into MacPorts just for this.

Does HomeBrew not have a recipe for XQuartz? Seems like an easy enough solution if you prefer HomeBrew over MacPorts.

My understanding is that the homebrew recipe[0] - which is now a
'cask' recipe - simply installs the latest release.

Hi Jeremy

I would be very grateful if you could somehow find the time to
prepare a new release.

Is there a way to assist you with that?
