-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.
-
