In addition to upstream fixes [1], this contains the following cygwin-specific changes since 1.11.1-1: * Use spawn() rather than pipe() & fork() to invoke xkbcomp. This should improve X server startup reliability, avoiding being unable to start when cygwin's fork() emulation is unable to work successfully. (This workaround was added in 1.10.2-1, but in a form which didn't work :( ) 2baaff23a96d11aa5638b60a5d190608 *xorg-server-1.11.2-1.tar.bz2 c73c6b5bbb42dfeae74fb92a8bcbad2a *xorg-server-dmx-1.11.2-1.tar.bz2 e1bbc83b4299a4966b3bc4c4683c02db *xorg-server-1.11.2-1-src.tar.bz2 [1] http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2011-November/001751.html -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer
