<p>[13 February] <strong>The X Strike Force Subversion repositories have
been upgraded to use Subversion
0.37.</strong> Unfortunately, ViewCVS is not yet compatible with
Subversion 0.37, so ViewCVS access to the
repositories has been disabled for the time being. This renders the TODO
file inaccessible via ViewCVS, of course,

<p>[9 February] <strong>The remaining patches from the XFree86 "trunk" in
Subversion (i.e., the 4.2.1-<em>x</em>
Debian package series) have been ported forward.</strong> Thanks once
again to Nathanael Nerode for his assistance.
