X.Org currently provides no binaries. </p> <p>There are many <a href="./Mirrors/">Mirrors</a> from which you can download source code to the X Window System. If you would like to be a mirror, feel free to do so and add yourself to the <a href="./Mirrors/">Mirrors</a> page. </p> <p>Development snapshots are currently on hiatus; most modules now update slowly enough that frequent snapshots aren't needed. </p> <h2 id="security">Security</h2> <p>For security advisories please check our <a href="./SecurityPage/">SecurityPage</a>. </p> <p>Please notify us of any security issues by sending mail to <a href="mailto:xorg_security@x.org">xorg_security@x.org</a> . </p> <h2 id="sponsorshipanddonations">Sponsorship and Donations</h2> <p>The X.Org Foundation welcomes sponsorship (both cash and in-kind), and tries hard to put the donations of sponsors to transparent good use. The Foundation is an extremely low-overhead all-volunteer organization.
