Xlibre is a fork of the Xorg Xserver with lots of code cleanups, fixes for existing issues and enhanced functionality. The creators and contributors of the Xlibre project work to ensure continuity of the X system.
The related hardware drivers are also provided making it possible to completely replace the Xorg software suite.

In the Xorg repository the 'TearFree' option was been enabled by default quite some time ago, but this code was never released.
Xlibre did release the code, so it does have the 'TearFree' option enabled by default.
The most important changes of this first release since Xlibre was forked:
Since this is the first major release of the Xserver for years (with about 3k commits in between), there might be some yet unnoticed bugs.

Closed source drivers might not have an updated ABI version to match that of the updated xlibre-server. This can be overcome by creating a file named eg. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xlibre.conf containing:
Section "ServerFlags" Option "IgnoreABI" "true" EndSection
Proprietary Nvidia drivers might break as they have not caught up with the Xorg master for about a year. All attempts from Xlibre to get into direct mail contact have failed. They are trying to work around this, but cannot give any guarantees.
