- This file gives information for users who want to upgrade from
- an older version to XFree86-3.3.3
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Please read the whole text completely, before taking any action.
-
- 1. All beta versions 3.1.2*, and 3.2A are expired now. Remove them and
- install the recent version 3.3.3.
-
- 2. If you want to upgrade from 3.2 to the version 3.3.3: It is
- not recommended to copy new files over old ones. 3.3.3 contains the new
- X11R6.3 code base which is in some aspects INCOMPATIBLE to 3.2.
- In case of an update, you MUST remove the old code and install ALL
- new packages (including fonts!).
-
- 3. You may copy 3.3.3 over a 3.2A, 3.3, 3.3.1, or 3.3.2 tree, because these
- releases already contain the aforementioned incompatible changes. Still be
- careful though that an unpacking of the archives may overwrite user files
- like xinitrc.cmd.
-
- 4. XFree86-3.3.3 uses, consistently with the Unix platforms, the name
- XF86Config for the config file. If you had 3.3.1 before, you can simply
- rename the old XConfig file to XF86Config file.
