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.
Release focus: Initial freshmeat announcement
Changes:
This is the first public release of the
(unofficial) XV jumbo patches, incorporating (and
reconciling) 25 bugfix patches and 21 enhancement
patches into two easy-to-apply super-patches.

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!
