The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** XFree86-bin-4.3.0-6
*** XFree86-etc-4.3.0-4
*** XFree86-fsrv-4.3.0-4
*** XFree86-lib-compat-4.3.0-2
*** XFree86-nest-4.3.0-4
*** XFree86-prog-4.3.0-9
*** XFree86-prt-4.3.0-4

*** XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-21


Changes =======

1) General - Recompile all libraries and executables against stand-alone
freetype2 and fontconfig packages.  (Harold L Hunt II)

2) XFree86-lib-compat - Add cygfreetype-9.dll.  There should not be a
need for the old cygfontconfig-1.dll... in any case, it conflicts with
the new fontconfig dll, so it isn't included.  freetype was okay because
the new dll has a different name (cygfreetype-6.dll).  (Harold L Hunt II)

3) XFree86-etc - The package was missed when Xt went shared.  I didn't
realize that there were a few executables in there.  This package
dropped in size by a few hundred KiBs as a result.  (Harold L Hunt II)

4) General - Cygwin now has strl{cat,cpy}(), so #define HasStrlcat as
YES in xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf and rebuild all apps and libraries.
(Matthieu Herrb)

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.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "XFree86"
and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced
version number appears if it is not displayed already.

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.
