(Kensuke Matsuzaki) winvalargs.c - Allow screen combinations with 'XWin -query host -screen 0 -screen 1 -multiwindow'. This gives an Xdmcp session and a second screen where I can display single windows. (Alexander Gottwald) XWin.man - Fix typo.

Release 6.7-4

Released: 2004-04-13 2100 EDT

Download source: Now available as src package via setup.exe

(Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winshadgdi.c/winActivateAppShadowGDI - Turn back on the manually minimizing and restoring of our window when using the ShadowGDI engine in fullscreen mode. We perform the restoring or minimizing manually for ShadowGDI in fullscreen modes so that this engine will perform just like ShadowDD and ShadowDDNL in fullscreen mode; if we do not do this then our fullscreen window will appear in the z-order when it is deactivated and it can be uncovered by resizing or minimizing another window that is on top of it, which is not how the DirectDraw engines work.

(Kensuke Matsuzaki) General - Enable build of Kensuke Matsuzaki's newer multi-window mode that works with an external window manager (-mwextwm). This newer multi-window mode uses the miext/rootless extension and requires Kensuke's xwinwm window manager, which will be released later as a Cygwin package. If you have to ask how to run this then you should wait until it is explained better; please do not ask questions about this in the mailing list for now. MultiwindowExtWM Mode (-mwextwm) - Fix window reordering. Remove winMWExtWMReorderWindows. (Kensuke Matsuzaki) General - Make most functions static that can be static. Remove declarations for functions used in only one place from win.h and put them in that single file. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) wincreatewnd.c/winCreateBoundingWindowFullScreen - Stop using WS_EX_TOPMOST for fullscreen windows. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winshadgdi.c/winActivateAppShadowGDI - Stop manually minimizing and restoring our window when using the ShadowGDI engine in fullscreen mode. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) InitOutput.c - Document -logfile, -logverbose and -[no]keyhook [Bug 437], and only document -xkb* parameter if XKB is defined. (Alexander Gottwald) winshaddd.c - Fix a few DDNL's that should be DD's. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winengine.c/winSetEngine - Oops, fix ShadowGDI being forced when it doesn't need to be.

Download source: Now available as src package via setup.exe

Changes:

winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents/SelectionRequest - Change the number of elements passed to the first call to XChangeProperty from 32 * 4 to 4 since we are the count of array elements, not the byte count of the total array. (Lev Bishop) winerror.c/winMessageBoxF - Correct used argument for va_start. (Alexander Gottwald) winkeyhook.c, etc. - Add a low-level keyboard hook for catching special key combinations like Alt+Tab and passing them to the X Server instead of letting Windows handle them. Add a "-keyhook" parameter to enable this experimental feature. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers, Takuma Murakami) windialogs.c - Display dialog boxes in the center of the Windows desktop if Cygwin/X is minimized. The problem was reported by Rodrigo Medina. (Takuma Murakami)

Release 4.3.0-66

Released: 2004-03-30 1315 EST

Download source: Now available as src package via setup.exe

Changes:

winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents/SelectionRequest - Change the 'format' value for the first call to XChangeProperty from 8 to 32 since we are passing a data array of Atoms, which are 32 bits long. (Lev Bishop) windialogs.c - Check for hand cursor not present (pre-desktop update W95/NT). (Earle F. Philhower III) winmultiwindowwndproc.c - Don't set focus to windows with overrideRedirect flag is set. (Takuma Murakami) winlayer.c - Remove dead file. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) Imakefile, win.h, winrandr.c, winscrinit.c - Put in place a framework for supporting RandR. RRSetScreenConfig was added to Xserver/randr/randr.c to allow setting the current resolution from within the X Server (previously it was only something that X apps could do). There is a little bit of work to be done before this will work, but it compiles fine now and LAYER has been removed since it is no longer needed for RandR. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winclipboardwrappers.c - Clear ownership flag of the other monitored selection if an X application is taking ownership of a selection, which might help to prevent clipboard related pauses. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers)

Changes:

windialogs.c, XWin.rc - Convert "About..." hyperlink buttons to show as hyperlinks. (Earle F.

Release 4.3.0-63

Released: 2004-03-26 1730 EST

Download source: Now available as src package via setup.exe

Changes:

winclipboardwrappers.c - Be careful to note that neither PRIMARY nor CLIPBOARD is owned by the clipboard integration manager when text is selected in X then unselected. This fixes at least part of the problem defined by Lev Bishop but needs to be tested. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winmultiwindowicons.c - Use BitsPerPixel() to calculate pixel stride, handle non-packed modes. (Earle F. Philhower III) InitOutput.c, winclipboardthread.c - Properly destroy the clipboard window. Unfortunately, calling XCloseDisplay hangs for some unknown reason, so we have to leave the display open; I suspect this has something to do with our IOErrorHandler. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) XWin.rc - Move the About... entry in the tray icon menu up above the separator and change the title of the About box to "About Cygwin/X". (Jack Tanner) InitOutput.c - Try to do a better job of removing the tray icon. It still doesn't seem to be perfect yet. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers)

Released: 2004-03-25 2230 EST

Download source: Now available as src package via setup.exe

Changes:

X-boxed.ico - Use Michael Bax's boxed X icon. win.h, winmultiwindowwindow.c, winmultiwindowwm.c, winmultiwindowwndproc.c, winprefs.c - Remove fAlwaysOnTop and PreserveWin32Stack() instead of reinstating winReorderWindowsMultiWindow(), which now inhibits reentries to avoid infinite restacking. Call winReorderWindowsMultiWindow() in appropriate places to keep consistent window Z order even if always-on-top windows are mixed. (Earle F. Philhower III and Takuma Murakami) winwindow.h, winmultiwindowwndproc.c, winmultiwindowwm.c, winmultiwindowwindow.c - Always-on-top mods: fix popup menus over AOT windows, AOTs not disappearing, normal windows appearing over AOTs. (Earle F. Philhower III) windialogs.c - Exit dialog gets top of Z order, otherwise can be hidden by X apps. (Earle F. Philhower III) winmultiwindowwindow.c - Make winRestackWindowMultiWindow empty (except calling the wrapped function). (Takuma Murakami) win.h, winblock.c, winglobals.c, winmultiwindowwindow.c, winmultiwindowwndproc.c, winscrinit.c, winshadgdi.c, winwakeup.c - Remove fRestacking and fWindowOrderChanged cache variables and winReorderWindowsMultiWindow function from multiwindow mode. This function was called around 100 times per second. Now the ordering task is done in winTopLevelWindowProc/WM_ACTIVATE handler in event driven manner.

Changes:

winclipboardwndproc.c, winclipboardxevents.c - Attempt to fix clipboard deadlock that was causing hangs. The nature of the fix was to stop calling XPeekIfEvent since it will block until the specified type of event is seen. Instead, we call XSync to flush output events and wait for them to be processed, then we do our own little loop with a call to select() using a timeout of 3 seconds from when we started (the timeout is adjusted after each call to select()). This should alleviate problems with XPeekIfEvent not returning. Finally, since we can detect whether the SelectionNotify event has arrived now, I added code to paste NULL to the Win32 clipboard if the X11 application never returns any useful clipboard data; this should prevent Win32 applications from freezing when there are problems pasting from X11 to Win32. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers)

Changes:

winmultiwindowicons.c - Use PixmapBytePad to calculate the length of a line in the icon that miGetImage will return. Our own calculation was not allocating enough memory per line and miGetImage was walking off the end of that memory when Windows is running in 24 bit color and using multi-window mode.

(Alexander Gottwald) winshadgdi.c - Fix for the Show Root Window 100% CPU bug. Use lParam in winRedrawAllProcShadowGDI as indicator which window initiated the call since EnumerateThreadWindows is called from WM_PAINT handler too and invalidates the fresh painted window right after painting it. (Alexander Gottwald) X.ico - Include Jehan Bing's icon_test9 version, which includes 24 bit as well as 32 bit icons. It is hoped that the 24 bit icons will be used by platforms that do not support the 8 bit alpha channel in the 32 bit icon. (Jehan Bing)

winclipboardwndproc.c, winclipboardwrappers.c, winclipboardxevents.c - Check if clipboard is already open before calling OpenClipboard; if it is open and we own it, then call CloseClipboard in hopes of fixing some reported deadlock situations. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) InitOutput.c - Add check for multiple instances of XWin trying to run on the same display number. Check for uniqueness among all terminal services sessions. (Takuma Murakami, Harold L Hunt II) winvalargs.c - Validate command-line argument combinations; fail when invalid combinations are found, such as "XWin -query foo_host -multiwindow". (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winerror.c/winMessageBoxF - Add a function that works like printf for Win32 message boxes. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winprocarg.c/winLogVersionInfo - Print version, vendor, and mailing list email address in the log file. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winprocarg.c/winLogCommandLine - Concatenate the command line into a single string with line breaks at 60 characters. Print the command line in the log file and save it for winMessageBoxF to use during FatalError and ddxUseMsg calls. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winerror.c - Make FatalError popup a message box telling the user that a fatal error occurred, where the log file is, what version they are running, what the command line used to start XWin was, etc. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) InitOutput.c/ddxUseMsg - Popup a message box telling the user that the help information was save to the log file, tell them where the log file is, what the command line used to start XWin was (in case they don't realize they typed -help or an invalid parameter name), etc. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) Xserver/os/utils.c, xdmcp.c - Replace several calls to ErrorF and exit(1) with calls to FatalError; this allows us to present the user with a popup message box, whereas the exit(1) call prevented us from doing this. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) InitOutput.c/ddxUseMsg - Document Alexander's new -xkb* parameters. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) config/cf/cygwin.cf - Specify our own vendor string, version number, and contact information. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers)

Changes:

winprefs* - Rename the WINMULTIWINDOWPREFS structure to WINPREFS, since it is used even when MultiWindow mode is disabled. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) winmultiwindowclass.c, winmultiwindowclass.h, winmultiwindowicons.c - Identify these files for renaming since they are not dependent upon MultiWindow mode being enabled. Do not perform the actual rename; instead, write this message in hopes that someone else performs the rename in CVS in a manner that preserves history. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) win.h, winclipboard.h, winwindow.h - Remove WIN_*_SUPPORT flags. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf - Remove the inclusion of xfree86.cf; including xfree86.cf forced us to have several lines of code that prevented drivers from being compiled, and forced us to define values for certain #defines so that they would not be overridden. Removing xfree86.cf and restructuring the file led to a decrease in size of about 30%. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf - Add the build flags removed from win.h in the form BuildXWinFoo. Add defines for the various build options, such as XWIN_FOO, which are added to the defines passed to the compiler when building the server. This allows us to remove the build flags from the hw/xwin headers and it also allows us to refer to the BuildXWin* flags in Xserver/Imakefile, which means that we should no longer have to update that file by hand when enabling and disabling certain features. (Harold L Hunt II - CodeWeavers) General - The above changes required extensive rewriting of cygwin.cf, which means that I may have accidentally broken or disabled something that was working previously. Please verify that things work as they should. Note that removing xfree86.cf causes 'xdpyinfo' to report our vendor string as "The X.Org Group" and our vendor release number as "6600"; this is different from the previous vendor of XFree86 with version 4.3.0.1 or some such.

Reorganize message/event flow, add new scheme to propagate window changes between Windows and X layers, eliminate bunch of conditional branches and cache variables. A couple of bugs should be fixed. (Takuma Murakami) winmouse.c - Properly clear the internal mouse button map when the mouse device is closed. (Takuma Murakami) winmultiwindowwndproc.c, winprefs.c, winprefs.h, winwndproc.c - Stop passing customized menus to DefWindowProc. Although it does not cause visible problems so far, it should be inhibited. Apply a mask, which is described in MSDN, for wParam in winTopLevelWindowProc/WM_SYSCOMMAND handler. (Takuma Murakami) winconfig.c, winconfig.h, winprocarg.c - Add some xkb settings (rules, model, layout, variant, options) to the commandline options and parse them even with configfile support turned off. (Alexander Gottwald) xc/lib/font/fontfile/dirfile.c, encparse.c, fontfile.c - Some more font path checks.

Suggested in the \devel at xfree86 dot org\ mailing list and discussed by many people in that and other forums. Should fix problems when using unconfigured network interfaces and attempting to use '-query' to Xdmcp into a remote machine; this was happening to a lot of users with wireless and wired network cards in laptop computers of which one or the other was usually configured but not both.

Clipboard - Try to check all allocated pointers for NULL before dereferencing and try to provide clean failures with error messages. (Harold L Hunt II) General - Allow XF86Config support to be turned on or off via the WIN_XF86CONFIG_SUPPORT #define in win.h. This is needed for the xserver tree on freedesktop.org (fd.o) since it does not have the necessary files from the XFree86 DDX (hw/xfree86). (Harold L Hunt II) resource.h - Rename resource.h to winresource.h to fix a problem with a header of the same name in the xserver tree on fd.o. (Harold L Hunt II) win.h - Wrap #include "layer.h" with #if WIN_LAYER_SUPPORT so that the header will not be included when layer is not being built. (Harold L Hunt II) win.h - Remove XWDFile.h, pXWDCmap, and pXWDHeader; these have not been used in ages, if ever. (Harold L Hunt II) General - Change all includes for Xlib headers from #include "foo.h" or #include <foo.h> to #include "X11/foo.h" for consistency and to make the build work in the xserver tree on fd.o. (Harold L Hunt II) General - Grab the rest of Alexander Gottwald's fixes for build warnings due to malformed prototypes. Add a few more fixes to silence additional warnings along the same lines. General - Protect some more XKB stuff with #ifdef XKB. Needed for the build in the xserver tree on fd.o. (Harold L Hunt II)

winmultiwindowwindow.c/winReorderWindowsMultiWindow - Fix the problem that XWin crashes when multiple XWin processes exist. (Kensuke Matsuzaki) InitOutput.c, winclipboardthread.c, winglobals.c, winmultiwindowwm.c - Move calls to setlocale () from winclipboardthread.c and winmultiwindowwm.c to InitOutput.c and only call it on the first server generation. Remove the g_fCalledSetLocale global variable. Make sure to call XInitThreads () before calling XSupportsLocale (). This may help fix the crash on startup reported by Lester Ingber. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwrappers.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Reinitialize the local list of selection owners when the server generation changes. This fixes the crash where copying text in X11 followed by copying an image in Win32 followed by an X Server reset causes XWin.exe to segfault; this was reported by Alexander Gottwald. (Harold L Hunt II) winmultiwindowwm.c - Move the global variable g_nQueueSize into the WMMsgQueueRec structure so that it is stored per instance of the multi-window window manager thread. (Harold L Hunt II) winmultiwindowwm.c/winInitWM - Zero memory allocated for WMProcArgRec, WMInfoRec, and XMsgProcArgRec structures. This should help prevent problems with uninitialized variables in these structures. (Harold L Hunt II)

winconfig.c/winConfigKeyboard - Fix problem with Japanese keyboard layout being ignored after server reset in XDMCP sessions. (Takuma Murakami) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - Release ownership of the X11 PRIMARY and/or CLIPBOARD selections if an unsupported format is copied to the Win32 clipboard and we currently own the PRIMARY and/or CLIPBOARD selections. This will prevent a silent failure in X11 when pasting after an unsupported item has been copied to the Win32 clipboard; instead, X11 apps should either paste from an another owned selection (xterm does this) or they might report that the clipboard is empty. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwrappers.c - Initialize g_iOwners to None. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwrappers.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Fix a bug in the call to MakeAtom for the CLIPBOARD atom that was causing MakeAtom to return a failure code instead of the CLIPBOARD atom; this caused the owner window for the CLIPBOARD atom to never be saved by winProcSetSelectionOwner. (Harold L Hunt II)

(Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents - Move variable declarations into the event loop so that they are reinitialized for each event that is processed. Remove all calls to pthread_exit and replace them with an abort section in each event that frees allocated resources and sends a SelectionNotify message when the SelectionRequest event is being aborted. Make sure that CloseClipboard will always be called if OpenClipboard has been called. Review the entire function to make sure that the responses to failures are appropriate. The result of this audit is that the clipboard code should not shut down as often from encountering minor errors. (Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents/SelectionRequest - When aborting because neither CF_TEXT nor CF_UNICODETEXT are available from the clipboard, be sure to do so before calling OpenClipboard so that we don't have to be careful to call CloseClipboard when aborting. This should fix problems with other Win32 apps not being able to use the clipboard until something was selected in X11. (Harold L Hunt II)

This fixes crashes in some cases when the X11 selection is being disowned by another X Client. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - Do not take ownership of the X11 selections when something other than CF_TEXT or CF_UNICODETEXT has been copied into the Win32 clipboard. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents - Make sure that CF_TEXT and CF_UNICODETEXT are available from the clipboard before request their contents.

Changes:

winwndproc.c/winWindowProc/WM_DISPLAYCHANGE - Save value of SM_C*VIRTUALSCREEN when fMultipleMonitors is true, instead of SM_C*SCREEN. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwrappers.c/winProcEstablishConnection - Change delay in starting clipboard client from the 3rd call to the 4th call when using Xdmcp. Should fix the problem reported by Andrew Braverman; if not, I'll have to make a much more robust system for starting the clipboard client when using Xdmcp. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwrappers.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Always advertise CF_TEXT clipboard format, optionally advertise CF_UNICODETEXT format. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_RENDERFORMAT - If wParam is CF_UNICODETEXT, pass TRUE for Unicode support flag (regardless of fUnicodeSupport value) when calling winClipboardFlushXEvents. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_DESTROYCLIPBOARD - Add new handling for this message; we are supposed to process this message for delayed rendering support. (Harold L Hunt II) General Clipboard - Restructure the clipboard system to run a single thread, regardless of the number of screens created in the current process; the reason for this is that X selections are per-display, not per-screen, thus there is no reason to have one thread per screen for managing the clipboard integration. Changing from per-screen to one thread greatly simplified the clipboard handling code and reduced the likelihood of errors due to interaction between multiple clipboard client threads. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwrappers.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Track whether the PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections are owned and if they are transitioning from owned to not owned. When one of PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD is still owned the Win32 clipboard is not disowned; if both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD are not owned and a transition from one being owned to being disowned is detected, then the Win32 clipboard is disowned. The user-level change is that you can select text in certain X11 apps (which usually sets both the PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections), click elsewhere to unselect the text (frees ownership of one of the selections but not the other) and still paste the text in Win32. The previous behavior would not allow you to paste the text in Win32 if the selection was no longer highlighted. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - We cannot bail out when NULL == GetClipboardOwner() because some applications deal with the clipboard in a manner that causes the clipboard owner to be NULL when they are in fact taking ownership. One example of this is the Win32 native compile of emacs. Without this fix, text could not be copied from the Win32 compile of emacs and pasted within Cygwin/X. (Harold L Hunt II) InitOutput.c - Remember to delete the functions that were moved to the new file called winprocarg.c. (Harold L Hunt II)

Release 4.3.0-33

Released: 2004-01-07 2315 EST

Download source: no longer distributed

Changes:

General - If you use the diff above, note that the Imakefile was missing from previous tarballs, so this diff includes the whole Imakefile. I have updated my source packaging script so that this does not happen again. Also, the source code in this release has already been committed to the xorg repository on freedesktop.org's CVS. (Harold L Hunt II) winauth.c - New File - Move winGenerateAuthorization into this new file. This function generates a cookie to be used by the clipboard client for authorization when using Xdmcp. (Harold L Hunt II) winglobals.c - New File - Start moving global variables into this file. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwrappers.c - New File - Move all clipboard wrappers of ProcVector and InitialVector functions into this file. (Harold L Hunt II) winprocarg.c - New File - Move winInitializeDefaultScreens and ddxProcessArgument from InitOutput.c into this file. The same will be done eventually for other functions in InitOutput.c. (Harold L Hunt II) win.h, General - Get started on removing "extern" declarations from win.h by including explicit references to extern symbols in the source files that use those symbols. The long term goal is to start breaking up the monolithic win.h header file. (Harold L Hunt II) Xserver/dix/dispatch.c/Dispatch() - Add hook to OsVendorReset function that can be optionally defined in the DDX layer when DDXOSRESET is defined. (Harold L Hunt II) InitOutput.c/OsVendorReset() - New Function - Send a message to the clipboard client telling it to shutdown, then wait for the clipboard client thread to exit before proceeding. This allows us to cleanly shutdown the clipboard client. Incidentally, I noticed that the previous code would spawn *additional* clipboard client threads when the X Server was reset; this was happening because we trapped IO errors and attempted to reconnect when they happened. There was no code that told a clipboard client thread to exit when the server was being reset so that it could be replaced by a new clipboard client thread (which was happening correctly). This should lead to greater stabilility across X Server resets, though I did discover that this version and previous versions where shutting down after two or three resets without any error message being logged nor exception being thrown. That problem will be looked into later. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardinit.c, winclipboardthread.c, winclipboardxevents.c, winclipboardwndproc.c - Fix problems getting killed by Xdmcp code and remote XDM/KDM/GDM client on startup. Fix problems not being authorized to connect when using Xdmcp by calling XSetAuthorization and passing it our cookie that was created earlier; this removes the need to save the cookie to a .Xauthority file. Watch the CLIPBOARD selection in addition to the PRIMARY selection and track which was changed within X last so that we know which one we should paste within Win32. Fix crashes when the server resets (as explained above, it still exits after one or two resets, for an unknown reason). The improved clipboard code should now be good to go. (Harold L Hunt II) winmultiwindowwm.c - Clean up the startup of the two multi-window threads. Create separate error and IO error handlers for the XMsgProc thread since it was using the same IO error handler as another thread and would try to longjmp into the other thread if it received an IO error, which was likely causing some crashes. The multi-window code needs additional work to confirm that it properly shuts down and exits both threads; something similar to the clipboard shutdown message in OsVendorReset will be needed. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardxevents.c - Find and fix a last minute bug that caused Unicode clipboard translations to be broken. (Kensuke Matsuzaki, Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

win.h/WIN_CLIPBOARD_AUTH_SUPPORT - Disable the new Xauth support for the clipboard integration manager with a build-time flag. Be sure to delete ~/.Xauthority if you have one; X Client connections may be prevented if you do not delete this file. (Harold L Hunt II) InitInput.c/InitInput - Only wrap ProcVector[X_SetSelectionOwner] when serverGeneration is 1, which prevents multiple wrapping of the function when the server resets (the ProcVector table is not re-initialized upon X Server reset). (Harold L Hunt II) InitInput.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Use ((DrawablePtr) pWindow)->id instead of client->lastDrawableID for determining the ID of the window that the selection is being owned by. (Harold L Hunt II) InitInput.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Detect when pWindow is None, in which case the selection is being unowned in X11; add code to release ownership of the Win32 clipboard if we currently own it. (Harold L Hunt II) InitInput.c/winProcSetSelectionOwner - Abort if IsWindow fails for the clipboard manager Win32 window handle; this may prevent problems when the X Server resets. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - Don't call XSetSelectionOwner when GetClipboardOwner returns NULL, since this means that the Win32 clipboard is unowned; there are many reasons why the Win32 clipboard may be unowned, one of which is that we release ownership of it when the X11 selection is unowned (see above item). (Harold L Hunt II)

Release 4.3.0-31

Changes:

General - Everything up to the last three entries describes the new clipboard handling system that does not steal ownership of the X11 selection each time that something is selected; this seems to work fine, but it needs to be tested. The last three entries describe my nearly complete attempt at generating a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1, adding it to the list of cookies that the X Server recognizes, and using it when the clipboard client tries to connect during an XDMCP connection. This authentication approach should work, but I need a break from trying to figure out which of the function calls has a minor error in its parameters; thus, it does not currently work. However, feel free to examine the source code and let me know if any of my calls to GenerateAuthorization, AddResource, or XauWriteAuth are incorrect. I would really like to get this automatic authorization working as soon as possible. Until then I will mark this release (and all releases based upon it) as 'test'. InitInput.c - Add a function, winProcSetSelectionOwner, and wrap the generic function ProcVector[X_SetSelectionOwner] with it. This allows us to get a notification each time the selection (clipboard) owner changes. Call SetClipboardData (foo, NULL) so that the WM_RENDERFORMAT message will be posted when a Win32 app requests the clipboard contents. (Harold L Hunt II, Alexander Gottwald) winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents/SelectionNotify - No longer steal ownership of the selection each time it changes in X11. We can do this because we have notification when SetSelectionOwner is called (see above). (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardxevents.c/winClipboardFlushXEvents/SelectionClear - Remove handling, it is no longer needed; it used to request the contents of the selection that we lost ownership of. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_CREATE,WM_DESTROY - Add information to be used on each call to a window property. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_CREATE,WM_DESTROY,WM_CHANGECBCHAIN,WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD - Add ourselves to the clipboard viewer chain so that we receive notification when the clipboard contents are changed by a Win32 application. Our normal response to this is to call XSetSelectionOwner, but we specifically do nothing if we currently own the Win32 clipboard. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardwndproc.c/winClipboardWindowProc/WM_RENDERFORMAT,WM_RENDERALLFORMATS - Request the contents of the X11 selection. Use XPeekIfEvent to wait until the response is added to our event queue (this could probably lead to a dead-lock of a client exists before responding), then call winClipboardFlushXEvents to handle the SelectionNotify event. UTF8 and CompoundText targets require that we call XConvertSelection from the SelectionNotify event, which will cause another SelectionNotify event to be fired; be careful to check for this and do the XPeekIfEvent/winClipboardFlushXEvents thing again if this is the case (this is untested because I did not see any UTF8 or CompoundText targets that needed conversion). Copy the returned contents to the Win32 clipboard with SetClipboardData (). (Harold L Hunt II) winscrinit.c/winFinishScreenInitFB - Generate a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 cookie and add it to the server's list of cookies. (Harold L Hunt II) winclipboardthread.c/winClipboardSaveXauthData - Add the generated MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 cookie to the Xauthority file. Beware that this is hard-coded to 127.0.0.1:0 and that the entry is not cleaned up upon exit; this will force the host-based access to be disabled in some cases and could cause problems starting X Clients until this is fixed. (Harold L Hunt II) xc/programs/Xserver/Imakefile - Add $(OS) to the XWINLIBS just after libXwin.a is included, which allows us to call unreferenced functions in libXau.a, such as XauWriteAuth. (Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

winkeybd.c/winIsFakeCtrl_L - Call Sleep (0) if the first call to PeekMessage returns nothing. TweakUI occasionally causes the Alt_R press/release to not be in the message queue at the time that we receive the fake Ctrl_L press/release. Calling Sleep (0) gives up the rest of our time slice to other apps that need it, which causes the Alt_R message to show up on our queue. We can then call PeekMessage again and check if the Alt_R is there or not. If it is not there, then we assume that we have a real Ctrl_L press, if it is there, then we discard the fake Ctrl_L as usual. I tested this with the US-International layout and it seemed to work fine. I originally coded this fix with a short "keytest" program and was able to confirm that the fix works there as well. (Harold L Hunt II) win.h, winkeybd.c, winkeybd.h, winwndproc.c - Remove dead code that was wrapped with #if WIN_NEW_KEYBOARD_SUPPORT. (Harold L Hunt II)

Released: 2003-11-09 1622 EST

Download source: no longer distributed

Changes:

win.h, winkeybd.c, winmultiwindowwndproc.c, winwndproc.c - Remove winStoreModeKeyStates () function and stop storing mode key state within the hw/xwin layer. Instead, query the internal X Server mode key state, when we know that no key press/release events are pending, and send key press/release events to get that state in sync with the Windows mode key states. This removes the possibility that the hw/xwin and internal X Server mode key state vectors would get out of sync. This is also a general cleanup that utilizes more existing code and removes some Cygwin-specific code. (Takuma Murakami) winwndproc.c - Catch WM_ENDSESSION message and perform clean shutdown. (Takuma Murakami) winwndproc.c - WM_*KEYDOWN - Discard key presses generated from Windows auto-repeat (these sorts of auto-repeats are handled by X). (Takuma Murakami) winmouse.c - Remap mouse buttons here when XFree86Server and XINPUT are defined, since this combination of flags prevents a lower layer from performing such remapping. The end result is that remapping mouse buttons works for the first time. (Takuma Murakami) winconfig.c - Load the US keyboard layout for Japanese keyboards. This ensures that WM_KEYUP messages are sent for the Caps Lock key. (Takuma Murakami, Kensuke Matsuzaki) win.h, winengine.c, winmultiwindowwindow.c, winmultiwindowwm.c, winpfbdd.c, winshaddd.c, winshadddnl.c, winshadgdi.c, winwindow.h - Add an engine-specific function that is called after a Windows-window is created in -multiwindow mode. This is a start for adding DirectDraw support to -multiwindow mode. However, I got a little confused here and thought that one primary surface would need to be created per window, which is not correct. There will be one primary surface with a clip list that causes blits to stay within the region of all of our visible windows. In any case, this is a step in the right direction. There code is currently disabled since the engine setting code only allows the GDI engine when -multiwindow is being used. (Harold L Hunt II)

(Kensuke Matsuzaki) Clipboard Support - Add ``-nounicodeclipboard'' command-line parameter that instructs the clipboard support in XWin.exe to not use Unicode functions, even if Windows supports them. (Kensuke Matsuzaki) winconfig.c - Prevent JP layouts loaded for JP Windows with US keyboards. (Takuma Murakami) winscrinit.c - Bail if -rootless and -multiwindow flags both present.

Changes:

winclipboardxevents.c - Fix crash when copying large amounts of data from an X application. The crash was caused because the encoding of the XTextProperty was INCR, which is an incremental transfer of large amounts of text. The problem isn't really fixed because copying or cutting large amounts of text now causes that text to be lost without warning, rather than copied to the clipboard. The real solution will be to implement the INCR protocol, which will follow in a few days. (Kensuke Matsuzaki, Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

winwndproc.c - Ignore Win32 repeats for the VK_CAPITAL (Caps Lock) key. This may or may not help to keep the state of the Caps Lock key in X and Windows in sycnh; it all depends on whether we are receiving multiple VK_CAPITAL key press messages, or if we are receiving one key press message with a repeat count greater than 1. If this doesn't work then we may need to look at masking key press events for Lock keys that are already pressed in X. (Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

Merge NativeGDI development branch. The NativeGDI engine is now accessible via the "-engine 16" command-line parameter. Note that the byte order for 1-bit bitmaps is only configurable at compile time, which causes the output to be totally messed up. Although, you can at least examine how the engine currently works. (Alan Hourihane) Display the argument to the -query option in the window title. (Alexander Gottwald) winprefslex.l - Remove use_unused_functions(), which was only used to force two functions to be imported, thus eliminating a compiler warning. This is no longer needed with the newest test version of flex. (Earle F Philhower III) cygwin.cf - Define HasExpat as YES. This adds a dependency on Cygwin's expat lib, but it removes the distribution of an out of date version of expat that was included with the XFree86 source code. (Gerrit P. Haase, Harold L Hunt II, Alexander Gottwald) Fix the occasional repeating of keystrokes in the xkb layer. This problem has been present in XFree86 for years, but it was more apparent on Cygwin/X. This patch is not yet in the XFree86 CVS tree, so any bugs caused by this patch will need to be reported to XFree86. See the following email for a description of how the patch works XFree86 patch email. (Ivan Pascal) General - Add runtime detection for the Cygwin IPC Daemon. This allows SHM (shared memory) support when the IPC Daemon is running. SHM support is automatically disabled, with no adverse effect, when the IPC Daemon is not running. There is now a dependency on the cygipc package, but no additional installation steps are required, unless you want SHM support; in which case you need to run ipc-daemon2 (See the cygipc documentation for more details). (Ralf Habacker, Harold L Hunt II) cygwin.cf - Ditch "-DNO_ALLOCA" and replace with "-DINCLUDE_ALLOCA_H" for AllocateLocalDefines. (Nicholas Wourms) cygwin.cf - Ditch "-DUSE_XWCHAR_STRING -DUSE_XMBTOWC" and use "-DHAS_WCHAR_H -DHAS_WCTYPE_H -DHAS_ISW_FUNCS -DNO_WIDEC_H" for XawI18nDefines. (Nicholas Wourms) General - Recompile all libraries and executables for run-time enabled shared memory support (SHM). (Harold L Hunt II) General - Recompile all libraries and executables for Cygwin 1.5.3+. (Harold L Hunt II) X11.tmpl, cygwin.rules - Fix some warnings about undefined symbols during cross compilation.

(Harold L Hunt II, Benjamin Riefenstahl) wintrayicon.c - Change hard-coded 16 x 16 icon load to use GetSystemMetrics (SM_CXSMICON) and GetSystemMetrics (SM_CYSMICON) to retrieve size of small icon to be used. Hopefully this loads the 24 x 24 icon on systems that have been changed to use 24 x 24 icons for the notification tray. (Harold L Hunt II, Benjamin Riefenstahl) winmultiwindowwindow.c - Break some functions from this file into several new files: winmultiwindowicons.c, winmultiwindowshape.c, and winmultiwindowwndproc.c. Provide enough Tender Loving Care (TLC) to the various header files so that all files still build with no warnings. Note that this drops the size of winmultiwindowwindow.c from 55 KiB to 21 KiB and creates three new files, none of which is larger than 23 KiB. Of those three new files, winmultiwindowicons.c is 10 KiB, winmultiwindowshape.c is 6 KiB, and winmultiwindowwndproc.c is 23 KiB. Finally, it is interesting to note that winmultiwindowwndproc.c contains a single function, winTopLevelWindowProc(), so that file cannot be made any smaller by breaking other functions into separate files. (Harold L Hunt II) winclass.c, winclass.h - Rename these files to winmultiwindowclass.c and winmultiwindowclass.h, respectively, since they are only used in MultiWindow mode.

Changes:

Convert X application icons set in WM_HINTS from XPMs to Windows BMPs using an internal algorithm. Earle, Ralf, and Colin worked together on this one with coding, suggesting ideas, and testing. The end result is, as they say, very nearly perfect. Each top-level X window is now given its own class that has an icon associated with it. The icon can be even changed while the application is running and this is properly handled. Icons are properly freed when a window and its associated class are destroyed. This entry encompasses a flurry of emails and patches that I cannot possibly recount here; hopefully no one feels slighted by this brief summary. (Earle F. Philhower III, Ralf Habacker, Colin Harrison) Set XIconSizes() to the Windows approved 16, 32, and 48. It doesn't seem to be looked at by anything, but it is in the XLib documents as something a WM should set. (Earle F. Philhower III) Removed several misc compile warnings. (Earle F. Philhower III) winmultiwindowwindow.c/winTopLevelWindowProc() - Add a call to winKeybdReleaseKeys () in WM_KILLFOCUS. This fix stops the phantom key presses that people were seeing. The example here would be to launch an xterm, then launch another xterm from that xterm. Type ``exit'' in the first xterm and press enter. The enter keydown message is processed by the second xterm, but the keyup is never processed so it got sent repeatedly to the root-level message loop (which performs all keyboard processing), causing phantom key presses to show up in any X app that currently had the focus. At least, I think that is that the problem was. An interim solution was to press and release the enter key, which would cause a keydown/keyup message combo to be sent, thus ending the crazy looping. This fix pops all keys that are pressed when the current X app looses the keyboard focus. Colin suggested this, Earle move the location of the call to the proper place. (Colin Harrison, Earle F. Philhower III) XWin.rc - Change the Exit Confirmation and Depth Change dialog boxes to be centered by adding the DS_CENTER flag to the STYLE attribute. (Biju G C, Harold L Hunt II) winmultiwindowwindow.c/winTopLevelWindowProc() - Let DefaultWindowProc() handle the Alt+F4 key combo in the WM_*KEYDOWN messages. This allows a user to close a top-level X window (which has an associated Windows window) by pressing Alt+F4. Note that this happens regardless of the -[no]winkill command-line parameter. This is the desired behavior since -[no]winkill should only affect the behavior of the root-level window, not the individual X Client windows. (Biju G C, Harold L Hunt II) winwndproc.c/winWindowProc() - Define a WM_GIVEUP message that calls GiveUp(); remove the GiveUp() call from WM_CLOSE and replace it with a call to winDisplayExitDialog(), which displays the Exit Confirmation dialog box. This only makes sense in conjunction with the next change log entry. (Biju G C, Harold L Hunt II) windialogs.c/winExitDlgProc()/WM_COMMAND/ID_OK - Pass WM_GIVEUP to PostMessage() instead of passing WM_CLOSE. This patch causes the end result that, in MultiWindow mode, selecting Close from the system menu for non-root-level Windows window causes that particular X Client to be killed. The previous result was that the XWin.exe process was exited without displaying the Exit Confirmation dialog box. This must have been a frustrating situation indeed and it makes this bug a marvelous catch on Biju's part. NOTE: The system menu can be opened by right clicking on the title bar, or by left clicking the icon in the upper left-hand corner of the app window, or by right clicking on the application entry in the task bar. (Biju G C, Harold L Hunt II) windialogs.c/winDisplay(Exit)|(ChangeDepth)Dialog() - Call SetForegroundWindow() if the dialog box has already been created. This pulls the dialog box to the foreground if it has been buried by other windows. It is legitimate to do this here because we are responding to user input of some sort when this function gets called. (Harold L Hunt II) XWin.rc - Add the extended style WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME and the normal style WS_DLGFRAME to the Exit Confirmation dialog box in an attempt to stop the dialog box from being listed in the task bar, which was reported by one user. This task bar listing has been negatively confirmed in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, but it may be happening in other versions of Windows. Of course, this could have been a reference to the fact that the dialog is present in the Alt+Tab list. However, that is the desired behavior and will not be changed (how else could you get back to that dialog box?). (Biju G C, Harold L Hunt II) Try, in vain, to maintain a uniform coding style and variable/function naming convention. I am mostly winning the curly-brace (curly braces on separate lines please), indenting (emacs default please), parameter spacing (e.g. func (x, y) instead of func( x,y ), func( x, y ), or even func(x,y)), and binary operator spacing ((x + y) instead of (x+y)) wars, but I am pitiful excuse for a belligerent dictator when it comes to the variable naming (follow examples in winwndproc.c), variable prefixing (follow winwndproc.c, which is my own sick mix of Hungarian prefixes (int, dw, psz, f) and old-school C prefixes (i, n, l)), and function naming wars. I would like to ask all contributors to try to follow the code that they see in the files that I authored, but I don't feel that I have the right to reject patches that don't follow those conventions. I will, however, try my best to adapt all patches so that I can read them and more easily maintain them in the future. You may also have noticed that I am a profuse commentor... I do that because I have a very poor memory of why things were done they way that they were done, so I sprinkle tips throughout the code to help myself remember things. You know, I have been realizing the entire time that I was writing this change log that I have low blood sugar, I am very tired, and this is so not the place for such huge amounts of text. Time for bed. Change log over. (Anonymous... Like you have to guess)

winmultiwindowwindow.c/winTopLevelWindowProc() - Remove a dependency on GetWindowInfo(), which is only present in NT 4.0 SP6, Windows 98, and later. Thanks to Dr. Charles L. Werner for reporting this problem on Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and to Alexander Gottwald for confirming that GetWindowInfo() is not present in Windows 95. (Earle F. Philhower III)

Philhower, III) Move the XNextEvent loop into a separate thread for MultiWindow mode. (Earle F. Philhower III) Fix a race between the startup of the clipboard thread and MultiWindow window manager thread that caused window title changing to bork. (Harold L Hunt II) Stop calling pthread_exit () from winClipboardErrorHandler (). An error is an error, not a reason to dump core. This may fix problems people have been having with -clipboard, but I don't make any promises. (Harold L Hunt II)

Philhower III) Implement handling in MultiWindow mode for monitors to the left of the primary monitor on systems with multiple monitors. (Earle F. Philhower III) Destroy the Exit confirmation dialog box and NULL its pointer when the server is reset. This fixes a problem that occurred when the Exit confirmation dialog box was displayed and the server was reset; the Exit confirmation dialog box would never display again after that happened, preventing you from normally exiting Cygwin/X. (Harold L Hunt II) Make the Windows window title include the display number and screen number (e.g. Cygwin/X 0:0) for the main window in non-MultiWindow modes and the normally hidden root window in MultiWindow mode.

Changes:

Fix the Exit confirmation dialog box so that the arrow keys, tab keys, and Enter/Escape keys all work. Additionally, make the Exit confirmation dialog box get the keyboard focus when it is opened. It was being set as the active window, but the keyboard focus was not being set properly. (Harold L Hunt II) Make the Cancel button the default button on the Exit confirmation dialog box. Thanks to Biju G C for giving me a heads-up on this one. (Harold L Hunt II) Fix the cursor hiding on the Exit confirmation dialog box that was occurring when no X Client windows were open in MultiWindow mode. (Harold L Hunt II) Fix the Exit confirmation dialog box so that it doesn't prevent the keyboard focus from returning to X Client windows in MultiWindow mode when you dismiss the dialog box by closing it or by pressing Cancel. (Harold L Hunt II) Change the root window title in MultiWindow mode to ``Cygwin/X'' from ``Cygwin/X rl''. (Harold L Hunt II) Change MultiWindow mode to use XWin.log again, instead of XWinrl.log. (Harold L Hunt II) Change the top-level window procedure for MultiWindow mode to share a global cursor hidden/shown flag with the root window procedure. (Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

Add an exit confirmation dialog box for when the user selects Exit from the tray icon right-click menu and for when the user presses Alt-F4 or Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (if the -unixkill command-line parameter was specified). (Harold L Hunt II) Add ``Show Root Window'' and ``Hide Root Window'' commands to the tray icon right-click menu when using MultiWindow mode (-multiwindow command-line parameter). These commands should be self-explanatory. Thanks to Biju G C for the idea for this. (Harold L Hunt II) Add the X icon to the Depth Change dialog box. Has anyone ever seen this dialog box? I added it months ago and have never heard from anyone that it works or doesn't work. (Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

Fix tray icon right-click menu to make sure that it disappears when you click outside of the menu. (Harold L Hunt II) Delete the tray icon in the per-screen close procedure, which ensures that every tray icon is deleted. This also causes the tray icons to be deleted when the server is reset, which is required since the tray icons are recreated when the server is reset. (Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

Add automatic keyboard detection for ``Portuguese (Brazil)'', ``Portuguese (Portugal)'', and ``Italian''. (Alexander Gottwald) Add taskbar notification area (tray) icon. Exit on double-click of icon. (Early Ehlinger) Add popup menu for right-click on tray icon. Add menu item for ``Exit''. (Harold L Hunt II) Add -[no]trayicon command-line parameters. The default is for the tray icon to be created for each screen (as if -trayicon were passed). You can turn tray icons off by placing -notrayicon at the beginning of the parameter list to XWin.exe (must be before any -screen x parameters). You can then enable the tray icon on a screen-by-screen basis by placing -trayicon after any -screen x parameter that you wish to have tray icons enabled for. For example, ``XWin.exe -notrayicon -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -trayicon'', would create three screens, two of which (screens 0 and 1) would not have tray icons, while the third (screen 2) would. Hide root window in MultiWindow mode. (Early Ehlinger) Add some initial support files that might eventually hold code for the X Video Extension. These files do not currently affect the operation of the server and I have stopped working on them for the time, but I will leave them there as a place holder. (Harold L Hunt II)

Changes:

xc/lib/xtrans/Xtransutil.c - Remove Cygwin-specific defines of fchown and fchmod to chown and chmod, respectively. It is not clear when these were added, but they are certainly no longer needed and are likely the cause of the first segfault that occurs if you debug XWin.exe under gdb. (Takashi Sawanaka) Remove the condition variable used in the startup of the threaded clipboard manager and multi-window window manager; the condition variable was not needed and actually caused a race condition that could prevent either manager from starting up. Instead, just use a mutex to hold the threads until the server has started, at which point the mutex is unlocked. (Harold Hunt) winmultiwindowwm.c, winclipboardthread.c - Remove calls to _Xsetlocale and replace them with calls to setlocale, since _Xsetlocale is just defined to be setlocale. (Kensuke Matsuzaki) Fix a problem where the server window would shrink each time the server was reset. This problem only happened in non-rootless, non-fullscreen, non-nodecoration, and non-scrollbars modes. In other words, it only happened when you ran the X Server in a single window that had a window border but no scrollbars. (Harold Hunt)

Changes:

Preliminary integration of the xwinclip functionality into the main server executable. This functionality is accessible via the -clipboard command-line parameter. (Harold Hunt) Delay the execution of the Multi-Window Window Manager thread until the X Server has finished starting up. (Harold Hunt) Restructure the way that the Multi-Window Window Manager handles fatal errors. Return FALSE when we encounter an initialization error so that the server can make a clean exit, instead of aborting immediately by calling exit (1). For later errors, call pthread_exit (NULL) instead of exit (1) so that only the Multi-Window Window Manager aborts; there is no need to kill the X Server process since work could still be recovered without the window manager module. (Harold Hunt) Destroy the pthread mutex and condition variables, used for synchronization in the Multi-Window Window Manager, upon X Server exit. (Harold Hunt)
