Updated on sourceware: XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-44


The XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-44 package has been updated in the Cygwin
distribution.


Changes:


1) wintrayicon.c - Change code that shows/hides the seperator on the
tray icon menu.  This change was required to stay in synch with the
change in the position of the tray icon menu items that was applied to
XWin.rc in Test92.  (Earle F. Philhower III)

2) winconfig.c - Add new defaults for keyboardlayout: German
(Switzerland) and English (USA, International).  (Alexander
Gottwald)

3) XWin.rc - Move Exit button to the bottom of the tray icon's menu.
(List suggestion)

4) winmultiwindowclass.c - Add checks for NULL pointers.  Should help
fix some crashes in MultiWindow mode.  (Ralf Habacker)

5) General - Add global variable that tracks whether XInitThreads ()
has been called so that it is only called once per process.  Calling
XInitThreads multiple times may have been contributing to crashes.
(Harold L Hunt II)

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.

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.
