Please report bugs and problems either to the Cygwin/X mailing list (see below) or to the X.org bugzilla (http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/index.cgi?product=xorg) Changes (incomplete) ==================== - lot of bugfixes - upgrade to MESA 6 - Xfixes extension - Damage extension - XEVIE extension - Composite extension (currently disabled) - updates to Xprint Notes ===== Some of the libraries are likely to change (the XEVIE client part is now in libXext but may move to a separate library). Don't use this release for building packages. bye Alexander Gottwald -- 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. Since the packages are marked as test you will need to select them all manually or use the "Exp" switch located above the package listing. This will select all Test packages for installation (most likely non xorg-x11-* packages too) which you can deselect in the "Partial" view (click twice on the partial button) 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. mirrors.kernel.org already has these packages. Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/X mailing list at: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.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/X in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/X mailing list is the appropriate place.
