-Cygwin/X Release Notes

-======================

-

-Release X11R6.7

-===============

-

-Cygwin/X has continued its rapid pace of development that it has sustained

-since Spring 2001 and this release shows it, we now have: a stable and fast

-multi-window mode, seamless clipboard integration, a configurable tray menu

-icon, popups on error messages pointing users to the log file and our mailing

-list, the beginnings of indirect 3D acceleration for OpenGL applications,

-improved non-US keyboard and clipboard support, and only a handful of bugs

-that continue to be reported.

-

-Between the XFree86 4.3.0 release and the X.Org X11R6.7 release the Cyg-

-win/XFree86 project broke away from The XFree86 Project, Inc. due to a lack

-of support from the XFree86 project.  As such, the Cygwin/XFree86 project was

-renamed to the Cygwin/X project and the upstream source code tree that Cyg-

-win/X pulls from and pushes to is now the tree managed by the X.Org Founda-

-tion.  The Cygwin/X project has seen a rush of development and interest in

-the project since the split; one metric showing this is that the number of

-CVS committers we have has gone from zero to six.

-

-The most outstanding features of this release are

-

-   o Major multi-window mode improvements. (Takuma Murakami, Earle F. 

-     Philhower III)

-

-   o Initial work of accelerated OpenGL using the windows OpenGL drivers. 

-     (Alexander Gottwald)

-

-   o Massive rework of clipboard integration with windows. (Harold L Hunt II,

-     Kensuke Matsuzaki)

-

-   o Improved Japanese clipboard and keyboard support. (Kensuke Matsuzaki,

-     Takuma Murakami, Alexander Gottwald)

-

-   o Customizable tray menu icon allowing shortcuts to start programs,

-     etc.(Earle F. Philhower III)

-

-   o New icons. (Jehan Bing, Michael Bax, Benjamin Rienfenstahl)

-

-   o Fix some multi-monitor problems.(Takuma Murakami)

-

-   o Fix repeated key strokes. (Ivan Pascal)

-

-   o Automatic keyboard layouts for the most frequently used keyboard lay-

-     outs. (Alexander Gottwald)

-

-   o Built in SHM support with detection of the SHM engine (cygserver).

-     (Ralf Habacker, Harold L Hunt II)

-

-   o Merged in work on the NativeGDI engine. (Alan Hourihane)

-

-OpenGL with Cygwin/X

-====================

-

-Cygwin/X has supported GLX only with software rendering provided by the Mesa

-library. Starting with X11R6.7 we add support for hardware accelerated OpenGL.

-

-This support is still under development and still has some bigger problems. 

-To provide both versions (the stable software rendering and the new hardware

-accelerated) we ship to binaries. XWin.exe contains the software rendering 

-and XWin_GL.exe uses the hardware acceleration provided by the windows drivers.

-

-The known problems with hardware accelerated OpenGL are:

-

-   o Only multiwindow mode is useful. In the other modes the OpenGL output 

-     does not align with the X11 windows.

-

-   o Using two programs which require different visuals will fail. For example

-     glxgears and glxinfo will not work without restarting XWin_GL.exe.

-

-   o OpenGL extensions and functions from OpenGL 1.2 and later should work 

-     but are not completely tested.

-

-   o The standard Windows OpenGL driver will produce no output. Use the one 

-     from your video adapter vendor.  

-

-If you notice problems with some programs please send a message with the 

-logfile /tmp/XWin.log and a short error description to <cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com>

-

-The hardware accelerated OpenGL was tested using: 

-

-   o glxgears

-   o glxinfo

-   o blender

-   o tuxkart

-   o GLUT demos (some did fail)

-   o tuxracer (currently not working)

-

-    

-Release X11R6.8

-===============

-

-Having reached a quite mature state in release X11R6.7 the development 

-has slowed down a little bit. Some of the former active developers have

-retired or cut their work for the Cygwin/X project due to conflicts with 

-job, study and family. 

-

-The X11R6.8 release now includes major improvements from the xserver project.

-This includes the XFixes, Damage, Composite and XEVIE extension which is a 

-major step towards allowing Cygwin/X to have real transparency. 

-

-But at the current state Composite is not working with Cygwin/X. Not all code

-in the Cygwin/X Server has been updated to support the Composite feature and

-using it will even crash the xserver. But as a second problem nearly all

-functions required for compositing are lacking acceleration in Cygwin/X so

-the feature would not be very useful if it would work. So it is disabled by

-default. 

-

-OpenGL with Cygwin/X

-====================

-

-The OpenGL support has lost some of it's limitations from the last release 

-and should be much more stable. But due to missing wide spread testing in 

-the community it is still available in a separate program. XWin still uses 

-the old software OpenGL which is known to be stable.

-

-The known problems with hardware accelerated OpenGL are:

-

-   o Only multiwindow mode is useful. In the other modes the OpenGL output 

-     does not align with the X11 windows.

-

-   o OpenGL extensions and functions from OpenGL 1.2 and later should work 

-     but are not completely tested.

-

-   o The standard Windows OpenGL driver will produce no output. Use the one 

-     from your video adapter vendor.  

-

-If you notice problems with some programs please send a message with the 

-logfile /tmp/XWin.log and a short error description to <cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com>

-

-The hardware accelerated OpenGL was tested using: 

-

-   o glxgears

-   o glxinfo

-   o blender

-   o tuxkart
