Changes
=======

Sync with X11R6.8

See http://freedesktop.org/~xorg/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES.html for complete
list of changes.

Cygwin specific:

- fix copy & paste multibyte to unicode applications bug

Differences to X11R6.8 Release
==============================

- Added support for additional mouse buttons (Chris B)
- Added support for si_LK (Sinhala,Sri Lanka) locale
- Patched XKB definitions to match the different keycode for HK_toggle and 
  backslash/underscore on jp106 keyboards and slash on ABNT2

Known Problems
==============

- Composite is not working
  you can enable it with XWin +extension Composite but it will most likely 
  crash. (You would not get accelerated transparency anyway)
- enabled NumLock will cause problems with Motif applications
- Installed ZoneAlarm 5 will cause the Xserver to hang. Even if ZA is disabled
- /tmp mounted in textmode may cause the Xserver to hang

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 "X11"
and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced
version number appears if it is not displayed already.

If your mirror doesn't yet have the latest version of this package after
24 hours, you can either continue to wait for that site to be updated or
you can try to find another mirror.

Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/X mailing list at:
