Links ===== Server source, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/xwin-20040112-1945.tar.bz2 (134 KiB) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against 4.3.0-39 source code: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/xwin-4.3.0-39-to-4.3.0-40.diff (14 KiB) Changes ======= 1) winmultiwindowwindow.c/winReorderWindowsMultiWindow - Fix the problem that XWin crashes when multiple XWin processes exist. (Kensuke Matsuzaki) 2) InitOutput.c, winclipboardthread.c, winglobals.c, winmultiwindowwm.c - Move calls to setlocale () from winclipboardthread.c and winmultiwindowwm.c to InitOutput.c and only call it on the first server generation. Remove the g_fCalledSetLocale global variable. Make sure to call XInitThreads () before calling XSupportsLocale (). This may help fix the crash on startup reported by Lester Ingber. (Harold L Hunt II) 3) winclipboardwrappers.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Reinitialize the local list of selection owners when the server generation changes. This fixes the crash where copying text in X11 followed by copying an image in Win32 followed by an X Server reset causes XWin.exe to segfault; this was reported by Alexander Gottwald. (Harold L Hunt II) 4) winmultiwindowwm.c - Move the global variable g_nQueueSize into the WMMsgQueueRec structure so that it is stored per instance of the multi-window window manager thread. (Harold L Hunt II) 5) winmultiwindowwm.c/winInitWM - Zero memory allocated for WMProcArgRec, WMInfoRec, and XMsgProcArgRec structures. This should help prevent problems with uninitialized variables in these structures. (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.
