X11R7.4


Cygwin/X has been updated to X.Org X11R7.4.

WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.4?
======================

* Each program, library, set of headers, set of fonts, etc., has its own
package, for a total of around 250 binary packages.  This sounds like a
lot, but most are optional, very small and only occasionally updated.

* The standard /usr prefix is now used.  Other Cygwin packages that use
/usr/X11R6 should be rebuilt and updated in the coming weeks.

* Fonts have been moved to /usr/share/fonts.

* libX11 is based on XCB.

* Support for a number of X extensions which were long ago deprecated
upstream have been removed.

FEATURES AND NOTES
==================

* Multiwindow mode includes several enhancements:

application icons with transparent backgrounds are properly rendered;
WM hints (e.g. no window decoration) are better followed;
shaped windows are displayed properly;
window styles can be customized in the .XWinrc file.
