Looking over today and yesterday's posts I've realized that the
Cygwin/XFree86 needs to take a few steps to minimize confusion, so here is
my proposed to-do list for the project.
1) Add an xdmcp section to the User's Guide (me)
2) Roll new Cygwin/XFree86 binary tarballs with these changes (Suhaib?)
A) Remove the OS branching from startxwin.bat
B) Remove XWin95.exe from the tarball
C) Replace XWin.exe in the tarball with the XWin.exe
from Test 17.
3) On Cygwin/XFree86's home page, remove all references to
incompatibility with Windows 95/98/Me (Robert Collins, or me?)
4) Rename the shadow framebuffer test series to just the
development series (me)
5) Cleanup the Cygwin/XFree86 development page to indicate the current
status; remove references to previous test series.
6) Create an outline for a Contributor's Guide (me, mailing list members)
7) Modify the User's Guide to indicate that Cygwin/XFree86 operates
on all versions of Windows. (me)
8) Collect suggestions for the User's Guide (me, mailing list members)
In short, we need to release the Cygwin/XFree86 development series as the
new stable series. I believe that the fixes made in Test 17 will be
sufficient for an initial stable release.
We're currently wasting time answering questions that could be avoided by
completing the items in the list above.
Thanks for you interest in the project, and start submitting suggestions for
the User's Guide and the Contributor's Guide,
Harold
