Hello,

I'm desperately trying to find documentation on these extensions. Can
someone point me in the right direction? Am I missing something? Any
pointers?

Thanks!

Those are a bit dated. The current versions can be found in gitlab:

I don't think your average user will ever find that.
Best to go to the actual release site :

https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libXrender/libXrender.txt

https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libXrender/libXrender.txt
But that's 6 years old now, since we stopped doing X11R7.* releases.
Ajax's links are the most up-to-date for people today.

I agree ... but who will ever find those ?
Stick them on the main site if they are up to date.
