Upstream is considering the removal of the Xephyr, Xfake, Xnest and Xvfb servers sometime after X11R7.7, to be replaced by invoking the Xorg server with the xf86-video-dummy or xf86-video-nested drivers [1]. To prepare for this transition, some packaging changes have been made: PACKAGING CHANGES: 1) The Xephyr, Xfake, Xnest and Xvfb servers have been moved to a separate xorg-server-extra package. 2) A new xorg-server-common package contains X server common files. This allows xorg-server-extra to be installed (e.g. for Xvfb) without installing xorg-server. 3) The xorg-server package now also contains the Xorg server, which can be used with the xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested drivers to provide dummy and nested X servers. 4) The new xorg-server-devel package contains the SDK for building drivers and extensions for the Xorg server. Given setup limitations, some of the dependencies between these packages may not be correct until they are promoted from test to current. Also, I've made an effort to finish off a lot of my half-completed patches, so this package contains numerous changes to cygwin-specific code. This package is currently available as a test release, and will be made stable in approximately one week if no major regressions are reported. The following cygwin-specific changes have been made since 1.12.0-1: * In multiwindow mode, the native window icon now updates if the X window _NEW_WM_ICON icon hint changes * In multiwindow mode, the native window styling now updates if the X window styling hints change * The _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR hint is now implemented in multiwindow mode * A crash caused by a race condition in the conversion of the window icon from an X property to a Windows icon has been fixed (Reported by Ken Brown) * In multiwindow mode, the native window now flashes on the taskbar if the X window's urgency hint is set * A bug which could cause the X server to use 100% of a core while waiting for the X clipboard contents to be converted has been fixed [2] * Fake XINERAMA data is now generated describing the native monitors when multiplemonitor mode is enabled, allowing XINERAMA-aware X applications to correctly place their windows so they don't get split between monitors. * A couple of timing-sensitive failures in clipboard handling have been fixed. * Lots of debugging improvements, correctness changes and obsolete cruft removed. * Make it possible to build the Xorg server for Cygwin (Thanks to Yaakov Selkowitz for patches) 11cb1f55368dfeb7a8cc51e4662b9a5c *xorg-server-1.12.0-2.tar.bz2 1a28579b4a5aa98b1cccb9c835f683c5 *xorg-server-common-1.12.0-2.tar.bz2 bb8c7f768ecd0710d149e248e19e9ffa *xorg-server-devel-1.12.0-2.tar.bz2 898b2b6eb92b74e5932c2863b97f4562 *xorg-server-dmx-1.12.0-2.tar.bz2 017d3fbb83b29536b2981260cd4a16c9 *xorg-server-extra-1.12.0-2.tar.bz2 920a7aad32e70cc3615a931346cc76de *xorg-server-1.12.0-2-src.tar.bz2 [1] http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2012-March/030059.html [2] This one was just terrible, see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jturney/xserver/commit&amp;id=475d248cef2c84e56458f9faa4d95157ed904f8b </pre> Jon TURNEY 2012-04-04T14:51:46 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree.announce/493 <pre>The following packages have been updated for the Cygwin distribution: *** libcanberra0-0.28-2 *** libcanberra-devel-0.28-2 *** libcanberra-gtk0-0.28-2 *** libcanberra-gtk-deve-0.28-2 *** libcanberra-gtk3_0-0.28-2 *** libcanberra-gtk3-devel-0.28-2 *** gtk2.0-canberra-module-0.28-2 *** gtk3-canberra-module-0.28-2 *** vala-libcanberra-0.28-2 *** vala-libcanberra-gtk-0.28-2 libcanberra is an implementation of the XDG Sound Theme and Name Specifications, for generating event sounds on free desktops, such as GNOME.

At this stage, this package will only be of interest to people who are willing to test it and report problems and bugs, and ideally write patches to fix those issues. It needs more work to be truly useful. Some of the more obvious issues: * xlaunch does not report it's version number anywhere * The htmlhelp is not complete. In particular, some GUI options are not documented * It needs to play nicely with Xming and VcXsrv versions of itself: (i) it should not fight over who owns .xlaunch files, (ii) it should ignore attributes in the .xlaunch XML it doesn't understand * It should base the list of local Xsessions it displays on what is actually installed, rather than a fixed list * It should support the -displayfd option to dynamically allocate display numbers * The ability to add extra options to the ssh command line (e.g. -C) might be useful * The window title should mention xlaunch, otherwise it could be hard to identify the xlaunch window on the taskbar or when alt-tabbing * It should maintain history lists of remote hosts and commands run in a dot file. * When it is useful to do so, the Cygwin/X User Guide documentation needs to be updated to mention xlaunch The source is available from git://people.freedesktop.org/~jturney/xlaunch cbccdf05329edb9590af66dad8ff7f36 *xlaunch-20120316-1.tar.bz2 0ad1d006c8d29e8100d5dc419f42bbc6 *xlaunch-20120316-1-src.tar.bz2 </pre> Jon TURNEY 2012-03-27T10:15:34 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin.xfree.announce/489 <pre>The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution: *** freetype2-demos-2.4.9-1 *** libfreetype6-2.4.9-1 *** libfreetype-devel-2.4.9-1 FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images).
