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.)

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.

Our thanks also go to the contributors to the X Window System technology over the years. Many of these are acknowledged in previous distribution release notes.
