Server Test Series - Test62 available


I won't have time to do the formal email release announcement until tonight,
but Test62 is available and should be making its way out to the mirrors (it's
also available from msu.edu already).  Test62 is also known as
XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-9 in Cygwin's setup.exe (you have to manually select that
version and you then might have to manually check the 'Bin' box next to the
version).

Changes and links for downloading:

Instructions for installing without Cygwin's setup.exe:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/

I need people to test Test62 with Windows running in 15bpp and 24bpp color
modes.    Not all video hardware support those modes, so don't worry about it
if you can't set Windows to those color depths.

Oh, and I forgot to put in the Change Log that we now link to comctl32.dll
which contains the _TrackMouseEvent function that either calls TrackMouseEvent
in user32.dll or it emulates the functionality.  *** If you have *Windows 95*,
you must have Internet Explorer 3.0 or greater installed to use
Cygwin/XFree86, as this installs a new version of comctl32.dll that contains
_TrackMouseEvent ***  At some point in the future we may get a pointer to
_TrackMouseEvent at runtime, which will remove the dependency on IE 3.0+ for
Windows 95; of course, we might never get around to it if there is no demand
for it.


Thanks for testing,

Harold
