-
- Patches for a variety of problems in R5 are now available via anonymous ftp
- on export.lcs.mit.edu, and the xstuff mail archive server on expo.lcs.mit.edu.
-
- Fixes are available via anonymous ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12),
- in the directory /pub/R5/fixes/. The file for this fix is "fix-14".
- Instructions for applying the fix are included in the file. Fixes usually
- propagate to other distribution sites as well, so it may pay to check at a
- nearer site first.
-
- For those without ftp access, individual fixes can be obtained by mail by
- sending a message to xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.11). In the usual
- case, the message should have a subject line and no body, or a single-line
- body and no subject. For example, make the line:
- send fixes 14
- to get this fix. To get a summary of fixes, make the line:
- index fixes
- If you need help, make the line:
- help
- Some mailers produce mail headers that are unusable for extracting return
- addresses. If you use such a mailer, you won't get any response. If you
- happen to know an explicit path, you can include a line like
- path foo%bar.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu
- or
- path zot!gzork!me@uunet.uu.net
- in the body of your message, and the daemon will use it.

- Fix 14 corrects the following problems:
-
- An enhancement to Xlib for the X Consortium's Xlib and X Protocol Test Suite:
- the test suite can now use the internal interface _XConnectDisplay to obtain
- raw connections to the X server, thus allowing maximum portable protocol test
- coverage. In order to ensure this coverage, set XP_OPEN_DIS to XlibXtst.c
- when configuring the Xlib and X Protocol Test Suite.
-
- Xlib: IO error during connect may dereference NULL
- Xlib: duplicate free() in XCloseDisplay from IO error handler
- Xlib: could use better _XConnectDisplay interface for test suite
- Xlib: XCloseDisplay does not free memory
- Xlib: endian definition is missing when compiling XConnDis.c for OSF1
- Xlib and Xt: LATIN2 keysyms are not handled correctly in ConvertCase
- Xlib and Xt: Latin-3 case converter
- Xt: XIM w/ keycode 0 (as defined by Xlib I18N) does not work with Xt
- Xt: XtCreateWidget errs when parent is an Object, not a Widget
- Xt: SetValues on TopLevelShell's iconic resource when popped_up is True
- Xt: set values on iconic resource should not affect initialState
- Xt: identifyWindows hack clobbers real information
- Xt: frees memory returned by Xlib with Xt interface
- Xt: unintentional reference inside Display structure
- Xt: geometry requests with SetValues
- Xt: release of passive grab not recognized
- Xt: XtOpenDisplay ignores -name when appl_name parameter is present
- Xt: XtOpenDisplay should check that argv[0] isn't the empty string
- Xt: XtCloseDisplay frees NULL per-display keysyms
- Xext: XShmPutImage missing gc update
- fonts: missing copyright for Bitstream Courier Speedo fonts
