Links ===== Server source, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/xwin-20040111-0215.tar.bz2 (134 KiB) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against 4.3.0-36 source code: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/xwin-4.3.0-36-to-4.3.0-37.diff (14 KiB) Changes ======= 1) InitOutput.c, win.h, winclipboardthread.c, winwndproc.c - Remove the winDeinitClipboard function since it is no longer needed due to the OsVendorReset function. (Harold L Hunt II) 2) winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents - Move variable declarations into the event loop so that they are reinitialized for each event that is processed. Remove all calls to pthread_exit and replace them with an abort section in each event that frees allocated resources and sends a SelectionNotify message when the SelectionRequest event is being aborted. Make sure that CloseClipboard will always be called if OpenClipboard has been called. Review the entire function to make sure that the responses to failures are appropriate. The result of this audit is that the clipboard code should not shut down as often from encountering minor errors. (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. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "XFree86" and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. 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.
