It's been a hell of a time getting X.Org 7.4 out the door, but this afternoon Adam Jackson has released this long-delayed update to this X system. X.Org 7.4 is arriving after the release of X Server 1.5.1 earlier in the day. Yes, it's finally here! In this article we have information on the features that make up this release along with what it's taken to get X.Org 7.4 primed for release.

In contrast gnome 2.24 is out today and http://www.gnome.org/ is already updated.

The presentation seems shoddy when the website is not updated to with "Version 7.4 is now out".
In their defense, how much difference does it make? Normal users will receive Xorg 7.4 sooner or later and they probably won't care much about the version numbers. They'll just notice improved startup speed. And system admins who work for any company most likely don't even have X installed and if they have, they'll install the updates only once they've gone through distro-specific testing. So, it's only the tinkerers who really care, and they'll know about the new version anyway even if it's not mentioned at x.org

Should at least be updated to reflect the new release.

Since X11 went from Xfree86 to Xorg there has been a lot of progress, but now it seems stale IMHO.
