XFree86-lib-compat (provides old 4.2.0 libraries for compatibility with
applications that have not been recompiled in almost a year) has been
removed as a dependency of XFree86-base.
This means that XFree86-lib-compat will no longer be installed in a
default Cygwin/X installation.
If you maintain any Cygwin/X packages that depend on the libraries in
XFree86-lib-compat please recompile your application ASAP against the
new libraries in the 4.3.0 releases. The XFree86-lib-compat package
will be removed from the distribution when the next major release of
Cygwin/X is made (within three months, possibly as soon as a month).
In the mean time, if an application complains that it cannot find
libX11-6.dll (or lib*-?.dll), then install the XFree86-lib-compat
package and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, notify the
maintainer of the package in question that they should recompile their
package against recent X libraries. If it does not fix the problem,
then your trouble lies elsewhere.
