[Harold L Hunt II]

The 
XFree86-[base,bin,doc,etc,fsrv,html,jdoc,lib,man,nest,prog,prt,ps,vfb,xserv,xwinclip]-4.3.0-1 
packages have been updated in the Cygwin
distribution.

There were no Cygwin-specific changes in this release.  This is a 
release to synchronize with the XFree86 4.3.0.1 release.

A note about fonts: The font packages *have* been updated to the 4.3.0.1 
fonts, however, the font package versions have not been changed. 
Leaving the font package versions unchanged means that users with 4.2.0 
fonts already installed will not have to download the new fonts, which 
are very large, while new installations will get the new fonts.  Anyone 
is free to "reinstall" the fonts packages, which will cause the newer 
packages (with the same version number, mind you) to be downloaded and 
installed.  The 4.2.0 fonts are compatible with the 4.3.0.1 XFree86 
release; only in extremely limited situations would someone absolutely 
need the 4.3.0.1 fonts.  Those people know who they are and are on their 
own for identifying themselves.  I have no further information about 
what scenarios, if any, would require the 4.3.0.1 fonts to be installed.

I have downloaded and tested the packages.  Everything seemed to work 
fine.  No need to report your results to the list unless you run into 
trouble.

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.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'XFree86-xserv' from the 'XFree86' category.  You may need to
click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up.

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.
