from -CURRENT. A must have for this release IMNSHO. I'm also going to
restore the Credits.rtf edits that Egbert deleted in -CURRENT too. RTF
isn't any less human readable than SGML, IMO, and it's a bit unkind to
delete credits. (Especially mine. :-)
4. Changed config file to xorg.cfg (Egbert Eich).
3. Fixed ABI versions, support address pointers, message in configuration
file generated with -configure (Egbert Eich).
Xorg.?.log name of the config file XorgConfig created: xorg.cf,
xorg.tmpl Internal changes XFree86Version, XFree86VersionString,
XF86Server to XorgVersion, XorgVersionString, XorgServer. Attempted not
to delete XFree86 stuff but add Xorg stuff and make it the default
(Egbert Eich).
bogus anyway (see bugzilla #303) (Egbert Eich).
37. backing out 30.: the sleep() exists to bring the log message to the
attention of the user which points to a problem elsewhere. Therefore
the problem should be fixed where it originates. To be strict we could
make the function fail instead of just trying to point the user at the
problem (Egbert Eich).
InstallFontconfigLibrary NO (Egbert Eich).
33. Updated Xft to 2.1.5 (Egbert Eich).
32. Make ELF loader work on systems with non-exec stack/heaps (bugzilla
#296, John Dennis, Mike Harris).
31. Fix for xdm to work on a non-IPv6 system when built with IPv6 support
(bugzilla #287, Peter Breitenlohner) (confirmed by: Alan Coopersmith).
30. Fix Xi XselectExtensionEvent for 64 bit machines (bugzilla #285,
Andreas Luik) (confirmed by: Paul Anderson, Alan Coopersmith).
Compaq for X11R6.5.1 that allows redistribution without written
permission from DEC. Originally X.org Defect #9263. freedesktop.org
bugzilla #283. (Alan Coopersmith)
XFree86.
17. Fixed Freetype2 compile glitches with different versions of freetype.
The build has been tested with Freetyp 2.1.4 and 2.1.7 (Egbert Eich).
16. Changed default font renderer for TrueType that is loaded by the
Xserver to freetype (Egbert Eich).
15. Removed dependecy of freetype Xserver module into freetype internals
(Keith Packard).
14. Flagged mailing addresses that still need to be decided upon with &&&&&
to allow for easy tracking (Egbert Eich).
13. Fixed keyboard rate setting thru ioctls on linux (Egbert Eich).
FatalError. These direct calls to exit(1) made it impossible to do
anything ddx-specific in these cases; note that most of these calls
occur during argument processing.
10. Made use system supplied Expat and Freetype2 library the default on
Linux (documented in the release notes) (Bugzilla #218,#219) (Egbert
Eich).
9. Patched __AMD64__ flags to __amd64__ (Egbert Eich).
8. Added RELNOTES.XORG to collect bits for release notes for this release
(Egbert Eich).
7. Removed leftovers from libxml2 (Bugzilla #220)(Egbert Eich).
4. Reversed Xutf8* to XFree86utf8* function name changes for the release
(Egbert Eich).
3. Removed sources for patch which were included when patch had a bad bug
(Egbert Eich).
2. Removed unnecessary fonts (Egbert Eich).
1. Removed XIE and PEX extension files from release tree. The build
environment has been gone already (Egbert Eich).
been decided that the priority is to preserve the server's internal
API/ABI so that third-party drivers that depend on symbols like
noPanoramiXExtension, etc., would not need to be recompiled. Too bad
gcc on Linux doesn't support ELF's weak symbols as that would have been
a reasonable solution for preserving the ABI. N.B.: While symbols, i.e.
functions and variables revert to the old name, I did not revert build
names, i.e. -DXINERAMA, to the old -DPANORAMIX. There was no need, and
it's just a build issue that has no impact on the binary output of the
build.
