[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.10.0-1 (TEST)

[Jon TURNEY]

The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** xorg-server-1.10.0-1
*** xorg-server-dmx-1.10.0-1

These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers.

This is the first release of the xserver 1.10 series.  It is currently
available as a test release, and will be made stable in approximately one week
if no major regressions are reported.

Please try test releases and report problems to the Cygwin/X mailing list.
Testing helps ensure good releases!

In addition to upstream fixes and improvements, this contains the following
cygwin-specific changes since 1.9.4-1:

* Fix clipboard integration in locales unknown to Xlib (e.g those using a CP
encoding) (Reported by Paul Maier)
* Fix to only send the specified address in XDMCP REQUESTs, when using the
-from option (Reported by Alexander Pokluda)
* Tidy up OS version detection and reporting in log output
* Just report the version number broken down into components (e.g. 1.10.0.0),
and don't bother reporting the full version number (e.g. 11000000) as well
* Remove some uninformative and always emitted log output
* Handle failure of winScreenInit() during startup without crashing, document
-fullscreen is only possible with one screen (Reported by Alexander Pokluda)

Note: Building from source requires xextproto-7.2.0, which is not yet
available as a cygwin package.

These packages have been promoted from test to current.

It's somewhat inconvenient only being able to provide one package as previous,
as I'd like to provide both the previous version 1.9.4-1, and also 1.8.2-1
(which is currently available as previous) for any users who are affected by
upstream bug #31501 (crash when using xfs) [1], which is not yet fixed.  I've
chosen to make 1.9.4-1 previous, so that can be reverted to if problems are
found with 1.10.0-1.
