Updated on sourceware: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-4


The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-4 package has been updated in the Cygwin
distribution.


Changes:


1) winprefs* - Add a system to allow the user to specify arbitrary
commands for the system tray menu (e.g. program launching shortcuts)
as well as custom icons for certain window classes. This is a huge
system and is really very amazing. Preferences are stored in
~/.XWinrc or in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/system.XWinrc, which is formatted
as in this example .XWinrc file (http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/example.XWinrc). (Earle F. Philhower III)


2) winmultiwindowclass.c - Fix a string copy bug in MultiWindow mode
that was likely to have been causing crashes for some people.  (Earle
F. Philhower III)

3) winconfig.c - Add new defaults for keyboardlayout: English (USA,
Dvorak) and Norwegian.  (Alexander Gottwald)

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to
your system.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'XFree86-xserv' from the 'XFree86' category.  You may need to
click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually
up-to-date.

In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

Please  send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at:
cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com .  If you want to subscribe go to:
http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use
this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing
list is the appropriate place.
