Re: Release date for 4.3
Hi David, [...] That's about right. I should have more information about the updated release schedule available within the next few days, and I'll post it here then. In the meantime, if any of you are aware of serious bugs that still haven't been fixed in the current CVS trunk version, please post details here. Please consider the patch I sent to the mailing list a few days ago. http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg00554.html This bug could affect any multi-threaded X11 application, causing serious problems such as hang and keyboard lockup (in KDE). It's caused by multiple threads using the X11 event queue at the same time, where one of these threads free the 'event reader lock' of the other thread, causing it to wait forever (condition is never signalled). The patch is small and easy to verify it's correctness (IMHO). It should only call UnlockNextEventReader() on return when an 'event reader lock' has previously been queued, that is, when 'cvl' is non-zero. Thanks. bye, ewald ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Also, a lot of documentation still hasn't been updated for this release. Don't assume that someone else will do it, so if you see things that are missing or out of date in the existing documentation, please send updates (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). The current documentation (including man pages) can be viewed online at http://www.xfree86.org/snapshot/. Thanks.
