About:
The XV "jumbo" patches are a pair of aggregate patches against XV 3.10a, which was last released in December 1994. The first jumbo patch incorporates roughly two dozen bugfixes. The second patch encompasses almost as many enhancements, including support for additional image formats like PNG, PhotoCD, and PDF; performance improvements; and new features such as mouse-wheel support, alpha blending against a background color, and improved dithering for 15/16-bit displays. All patches available from the official XV site are included, as well as numerous other patches from around the world.

[»] XV back from the dead?
by she_died - May 2nd 2005 05:23:25

A lot of distros I've tried (even liveCDs) seem to miss out on good ol' XV (since when did it become uppercase, BTW? If you've paid the registration? :-) that back then, it was always a separate d/load after any install I've done. I had stopped downloading after too many formats remained unsupported.

It is a good year for Linux. First, Blackbox gets its first major update in *AGES* `, now XV almost becomes XVI. Or is it XV , Part II? But let me just say, Thank you to all developers involved for your contributions.

I believe XV (the proper noun, not the command name) has always been uppercase in contexts in which Bradley's special script font cannot be used. See the README file, for example (going back at least to version 2.21).

Speaking only for myself, you're quite welcome. Thanks for the comment!
