Re: Schedule for upgrade to XFree 4.3?


Ruth,

No schedule.

We are working on it, sort of.

I have only seen one feature mentioned from 4.3.0 that will be of much use to Cygwin/XFree86 users.

You have to remember, the bulk of updates in XFree86 4.3.0 apply to the XFree86 X Server, which Cygwin/XFree86 doesn't use. There have been updates to the various libraries and a few clients, but there aren't many must-have fixes in 4.3.0, that I know of at least.

The X Server that Cygwin/XFree86 uses is released separately from XFree86, so we continue to evolve Windows-specific features even while we leave the underlying code base at an older version.
