-
- Patches for a variety of problems in R5 are available via anonymous
- ftp on export.lcs.mit.edu and via 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-24".
- 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 24
- 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.
-
- Brief notes on what fix 24 corrects:
-
-
- Xt: XtMakeGeometryRequest can emit erroneous ConfigureWindow requests
- Xt: merging databases with Xlib can invalidate Xt's cached database
- Xt: ExtractLocaleName() returns NULL when locale is C
- Xt: XtAppAddInput might not handle maximum open file descriptors
- Xt: XtRemoveInput when multiple callbacks on same source and condition
- Xt: XtGrabKeyboard and XtGrabPointer with an unrealized widget
- Xt: SelectionI.h assumes sizeof(long) == 32
- Xt: returns selection value allocated by Xlib
- Xt: selection owners that specify a done_proc, with certain requests
- Xt: internal event handler unnecessarily asks for nonmaskable events
- Xt: assumes all key translators use the same standard modifiers
- Xt: faulty grab registration
- Xt: missing parameters in unsupported DEBUG code in TMgrab.c
- Xt: action proc binding reference count overflows at 4096
- Xt: parsing and matching productions containing key sequences
- Xt: parsing of productions containing "None" and "Any" modifiers
- Xt: parsing productions with Meta as event abbreviation
- Xt: semantics of productions with "Any" should be AnyModifier
- Xt: XtOverrideTranslations fails to override double click translations
- Xt: VarCreate.c assumes ability to assign to a va_list type
- Xt: Alloc.c: conflicting typedef when XTTRACEMEMORY #defined
- Xt: nonsense about uninitialized memory by Purify in Create.c
- Xt: unused structure item in timeout representation
