The discovery of X-ray binary systems in the 1960's opened up stellar evolution theory by revealing further endpoints in addition to white dwarfs. This review summarises recent progress in studies of stellar-evolutionary processes that lead to X-ray binaries themselves, the mass transfer rates that power them, and the accretion processes which convert this into electromagnetic radiation. Particular attention is paid to the topics of mass transfer fluctuations and of the accretion by magnetic compact stars.
