Het X Window System, kortweg X of X11 genoemd, is een platform om onder verschillende besturingssystemen een grafische bediening te kunnen gebruiken. Het platform bestaat uit een server, de X Window-server, die het scherm beheert en zogenaamde clients die een verbinding maken met de X-server en daaraan doorgeven wat er op het scherm moet worden getoont Bekende X Window-servers zijn X.org en Xfree86. Beide doen hun werk op Unix-achtige systemen. Xming is een X Window-server voor systemen met Windows XP/2003/Vista en kan voor uiteenlopende doeleinden worden gebruikt, zoals het grafisch benaderen van een Unix-server vanaf je Windows-desktop. De ontwikkelaars hebben versie 7.3.0.29 op de wereld gezet en voorzien van de volgende lijst met aanpassingen in deze maand:
Version 7.3.0.29:Version 7.3.0.28:
- Update xserver and libX11 from X.Org git.
- Fix a <ctrl> key combination regression with Motif clients (e.g. 'nedit') that affected versions after 7.3.0.25.
- In -multiwindow mode ensure no-title-bar shaped windows always have no title bar and the correct clipping region. Also rationalise the code associated with applying shaped windows and hints. Note that Motif WM nodecorations hinted shaped windows can still exhibit odd quirks. A workaround is to use a Styles entry in your Xmingrc file e.g. for 'gmplayer'
Version 7.3.0.27:
- This was another high change version, so it may exhibit some regression or even a slight loss of stability. It was frozen for testing and has now been released, unchanged. Upgrading to version 7.3.0.29 is recommended but not essential.
- Update xserver, pixman, xprop and Mesa from X.Org git.
- A reported crash starting XDMCP mode with version 7.3.0.27 has been confirmed as fixed.
Version 7.3.0.26:
- This was a high change version (as in major moves towards '/main/LATEST').
- Update the FreeType2 and PuTTY projects from their CVS, and xserver, libX11, libXext, libICE, libSM, libxtrans, ico, pixman, Mesa and xkeyboard-config from X.Org git.
- Suppress a false-positive error message: 'The operation completed successfully,' that has been seen when checking the return from function 'BitBlt()' in -mwextwm mode .
- Build using MinGW Runtime from its CVS repository as of 18th October 2008.
- Update the FreeType2 and PuTTY projects from their CVS, and xserver, libX11, libXi, pixman, Mesa and xkeyboard-config from X.Org git. A black background root window is now standard (option -br); use the new option -retro to revert.
- Fix a possible crash in both Xming's 'plink.exe's (see change note in 7.3.0.26 portable PuTTY).
- Trivially fix the cursor not appearing at server start mentioned in 7.3.0.24's change notes below (some updates to 'xfixes/cursor.c' were ignored, until now).
- Allow backslashes in the 'Login as User' field in XLaunch (as in domainname\\username).
- If spaces are part of the 'Password' the plink command line -pw output created by XLaunch is now quoted.
- Minor tidying of a few Xming patches and manuals following a code review and website revalidation.
- Add some comments/descriptions to the XLaunch schema definition file.
- Mesa component licenses refreshed following SGI's changes in the OpenGL license to satisfy FSF requirements.
