Changes: 1) Merge NativeGDI development branch. The NativeGDI engine is now accessible via the "-engine 16" command-line parameter. Note that the byte order for 1-bit bitmaps is only configurable at compile time, which causes the output to be totally messed up. Although, you can at least examine how the engine currently works. (Alan Hourihane) 2) Display the argument to the -query option in the window title. (Alexander Gottwald) 3) winprefslex.l - Remove use_unused_functions(), which was only used to force two functions to be imported, thus eliminating a compiler warning. This is no longer needed with the newest test version of flex. (Earle F Philhower III) 4) cygwin.cf - Define HasExpat as YES. This adds a dependency on Cygwin's expat lib, but it removes the distribution of an out of date version of expat that was included with the XFree86 source code. (Gerrit P. Haase, Harold L Hunt II, Alexander Gottwald) 5) Fix the occasional repeating of keystrokes in the xkb layer. This problem has been present in XFree86 for years, but it was more apparent on Cygwin/XFree86. This patch is not yet in the XFree86 CVS tree, so any bugs caused by this patch will need to be reported to XFree86. See the following email for a description of how the patch works XFree86 patch email. (Ivan Pascal) 6) General - Add runtime detection for the Cygwin IPC Daemon. This allows SHM (shared memory) support when the IPC Daemon is running. SHM support is automatically disabled, with no adverse effect, when the IPC Daemon is not running. There is now a dependency on the cygipc package, but no additional installation steps are required, unless you want SHM support; in which case you need to run ipc-daemon2 (See the cygipc documentation for more details). (Ralf Habacker, Harold L Hunt II) 7) cygwin.cf - Ditch "-DNO_ALLOCA" and replace with "-DINCLUDE_ALLOCA_H" for AllocateLocalDefines. (Nicholas Wourms) 8) cygwin.cf - Ditch "-DUSE_XWCHAR_STRING -DUSE_XMBTOWC" and use "-DHAS_WCHAR_H -DHAS_WCTYPE_H -DHAS_ISW_FUNCS -DNO_WIDEC_H" for XawI18nDefines. (Nicholas Wourms) 9) General - Recompile all libraries and executables for run-time enabled shared memory support (SHM). (Harold L Hunt II) 10) General - Recompile all libraries and executables for Cygwin 1.5.3+. (Harold L Hunt II) 11) X11.tmpl, cygwin.rules - Fix some warnings about undefined symbols during cross compilation. (Harold L Hunt II) -- Harold Hunt 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.
