The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

I think I found a bug:
There is no stdout or stderr.
So for example, xwin --version does not output anything.
Nothing is logged to /var/log/xwin/Xorg.0.log when I type that
command. This is the same as with xorg-server 1.15.
If I specify an invalid argument (e.g. xwin --foobar). then I see
the information dialog box, and the xwin usage info is outputted to
that log file.
I did all my testing with 32-bit Cygwin.
Thanks for reporting this.
Are you using the same terminal in both cases? (For obscure reasons, XWin
--version doesn't work in a cmd.exe terminal, see [1])
You also seem to be using a separate cygwin installation to test xorg-server
1.16, which might also be related to this in some way.

Hi Jon,
Your suspician was correct. I was launching my main cygwin
installation with the start menu shortcut (`C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe
-i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`), but I was launching the X.org 1.16 cygwin
installation by double-clicking C:\cygwin-xorg16\cygwin.bat. Thus I
was running my X.org 1.16 cygwin installation with cmd.exe.
When I launched my X.org 1.16 Cygwin installation by running
`C:\cygwin-xorg16\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`, this
issue was resolved.
Thanks,
-Mike
