The X.Org project provides an open source implementation of the X Window System. The development work is being done in conjunction with the freedesktop.org community. The X.Org Foundation is the educational non-profit corporation whose Board serves this effort, and whose Members lead this work.

The last full release of the entire X.Org stack was X11R7.7 - since then individual X.Org modules have been released independently as needed - see the xorg-announce archives for details of those releases, and https://www.x.org/releases/individual/ for downloads. Information about all releases is available. (Important: If you have an older release, please see the Security page for information on security updates.)

Mailing Lists
On XorgMailingLists you can find a list of X-related mailing lists hosted on lists.freedesktop.org. More mailing lists on X Window System and related technologies along with subscription directions are available at XOrg Foundation.
Getting X
The best place to get X is from your operating system or distribution vendor. X.Org currently provides no binaries.
There are many Mirrors 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 Mirrors page.
Development snapshots are currently on hiatus; most modules now update slowly enough that frequent snapshots aren't needed.

Windows 8 Jump Lists
If you right-click an icon pinned to the Taskbar, then you will be rewarded with a choice of useful actions; for example, a shortcut to a recent file or a frequently accessed website.
Once you embrace the idea of right-clicking programs on the taskbar then you discover more uses of the resulting shortcut menu, one of my favourite browser tasks is: 'Open new tab'.

Actions for Your Windows 8 Jump List
Right-click an icon on the taskbar and then observe these options:
Getting Started with Windows Jumplists
If you have already experimented with jumplists in Windows 7, then you will have no trouble migrating to the same feature in Windows 8. That said, it seems that applications in Windows 8 make more use of jump lists.
There are two ways to right-click on a tablet: hold down a finger until a circle appears, then release it. Alternatively, 'Press and tap', touch the icon with one finger as you simultaneously tap the screen with another finger.
Here are two pieces of advice with jump lists:
1) Don't be put off because the jump list is empty on a new machine, it will soon populate with items once you start using the underlying programs.
2) Jump lists are a classic case of the more you use them, the more you will save frustration when you search for stuff you used yesterday or last week.
Guy Recommends: A Free Trial of the Network Performance Monitor (NPM) v11.5
SolarWinds’ Orion performance monitor will help you discover what’s happening on your network. This utility will also guide you through troubleshooting; the dashboard will indicate whether the root cause is a broken link, faulty equipment or resource overload.
What I like best is the way NPM suggests solutions to network problems. Its also has the ability to monitor the health of individual VMware virtual machines. If you are interested in troubleshooting, and creating network maps, then I recommend that you try NPM now.
Jump List – To Access More Networks
Even if you don't use jump lists for documents, you will probably use the equivalent shortcut menu for connecting to a wireless network. Simply right-click the wireless icon in the Navigation Area, then choose your Wireless Network Connection from the list – see screenshot.
Windows 8 is great at detecting wireless networks automatically, and then displaying them with the highest bandwidth option at the top. While the wireless icon changes if your computer becomes disconnected from the network, it does not blink to show the network is live as it did in XP. See more on Windows 8 Wireless connections
My hidden agenda is that Windows 8 is consistent, as a result you may gradually employ techniques from one area, such as network connections, to another area, for instance application jump lists.
Pinning to Windows 8's Jump List
You could argue that Windows 8's obsession with 'Pinning to Start' or 'Pinning to Taskbar' have evolved from Windows 7 Jump Lists. Certainly we can see how these techniques enable Metro-style apps to perform tasks without the user having to open program menus.
Alternatively, you could say that Windows 8's jump lists are a natural extension of this pinning activity; either way, pinning and jump lists go hand-in-hand, and ultimately make it quicker to find the things you use most often.
Microsoft and app developers have embraced jump lists and continue the trend to make them richer and more responsive to the individual program. For instance, each app knows what kind of content they host: whether it's, an album, a results tracker, or a profile, and thus developers can give users quick access to each app's content.
Recommended: Solarwinds’ Permissions Analyzer – Free Active Directory Tool
I like thePermissions Analyzer because it enables me to see WHO has permissions to do WHAT at a glance. When you launch this tool it analyzes a users effective NTFS permissions for a specific file or folder, and takes into account network share access, then displays the results in a nifty desktop dashboard!
Think of all the frustration that this free SolarWinds utility saves when you are troubleshooting authorization problems for user’s access to a resource. Give this permissions monitor a try – it’s free!
Customize Your Windows 8 Jump List
You can adjust the number of items in the jump list. By default Windows 8 displays 10, but if you right click the taskbar and select the tab called 'Jump Lists', then you can decrease to zero, or increase to 60!
There is also a Group Policy setting to prevent Windows 8 from keeping the recent files in jump lists, and other places.
Launch Gpedit.msc and navigate to:
Check the logic, if you don't want the jump list, then enable this policy.
Plan B Taskbar Properties
Right Click on the Taskbar and select 'Properties. Next, click on the Start Menu tab. Remove the tick [Key point] next to 'Store and Display Recently Opened Items in the Start menu and the taskbar'.
Note: This taskbar change had the side-effect of removing the 'Frequent' category from the Internet Explorer jumplist.
How to Increase the Number of Pinned Items in Windows 8
You are seeking a registry key called ApplicationDestinations with DWORD called MaxEntries.
Launch Regedit and expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Jump Desktop 8 4 9 X 8 1
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion ExplorerApplicationDestinationsMaxEntries
The default for MaxEntries is 17, I increased mine to 30. The more I think about this setting, the more it seems to me that you would want reduce rather than increase the number of pinned items.
Summary of Windows 8 Jump Lists
Variations on the jumplist theme occur all through Windows 8 menus, all you need to do is right-click and choose from 'Recent', 'Frequent' or 'Tasks'.
