Xming X Server for Windows

Changes for versions 7.7.0.46

Xming

Update FreeType2 and Plink from their project git repositories, and the xserver, libXaw, libXt, Mesa, twm, xauth and xkbcomp from X.Org git.

Xming-portablePuTTY

Update from PuTTY project git master.

Xming 7.7.0.45 (x86 & x64 Released 1 Jul 2019)

Update FreeType2 and Plink from their project git repositories, and the xserver, appres, bitmap, editres, libX11, libXi, libXt, Mesa, setxkbmap, xauth, xcalc, xclock, xkbcomp, xkeyboard-config, xmodmap and xwininfo from X.Org git.
Option -compositewm is no longer experimental and now enabled by default. Its performance has also been much improved (thanks to Jon Turney). Also provide a new option -nocompositewm to turn it off.
Include a new option -compositealpha to turn on the use of the X Window's alpha channel in -multiwindow mode. This works on W7/Vista and Windows 10 but not on W8/8.1 and is disabled by default. Also -compositewm must be enabled for this to be useful. (thanks to Jon Turney)
Fix unmap of a window owning a transient window potentially causing the application to be killed (thanks to Jon Turney).
Remove the experimental -mwextwm option. It has not been modified or tested for years and I doubt if it has any users.
Raise an activated X Window to the top in Z order if needed. The perennial favourite reports of Z order quirks will hopefully now be less frequent .
xcalc now has bitwise ops and base conversion (DEC/OCT/HEX). Note: file XCalc in app-defaults is updated by this change.
Update bison to release 3.4.1 in the build toolchain.

Since release > 7.7.0.32 the X toolbar icon was not recovering from Windows explorer.exe crashing/restarting. However do not then let the X server start the icon if using option -notrayicon (this latter bug was a lot older!)
Fix two very recent 'assignment from incompatible pointer type' warnings, when assigning a function pointer to a variable, in libGL that only showed in the 32-bit build (now fixed in git Master).
The PThreads-Win32 project has been renamed PThreads4W and commuted to Apache License ALv2 from LGPLv2.1 (thanks to Ross Johnson). So Xming's POSIX pthreads library is now named pthreadGC3.dll, i.e. version 2 -> 3, and its patches have been reviewed.

Update FreeType2 and Plink from their project git repositories, and the xserver, Mesa, pixman, xkbcomp and xwininfo from X.Org git.
Xming clients can now be sensibly sized (they were tiny!) on ultra-high resolution devices by appropriately adjusting Windows 10 display scaling %. Windows now recommends 'Windows Settings > System > Display > Scale and layout' values and, for me, Xming clients now open sensibly sized with the recommended 250% scaling value for 'Change the size of text, apps and other items' on a 4K UHD monitor.
Make the default font size 96dpi (was 75) and the font path precedence order: misc, TTF, 100dpi, 75dpi. This is a long overdue sync with X.Org default settings but will subtly change the appearance of many clients.
When Xming is started on a Windows Remote Desktop: SM_CMOUSEBUTTONS only reports two buttons on any mouse! Assume a ≥3 button mouse and log when Xming is started remotely. Note: apart from installing and light testing; running Xming via Windows Remote Desktop is probably not a good idea.
xev showed that the multimedia keycodes for XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioRaiseVolume were transposed in winkeynames.h.
Add the Belgian (Comma) keyboard layout (0x0001080c) to the keyboard layout mapping table.
Tidy some stderr messages from libGL.

Improve data returned for RANDR queries (thanks to Jon Turney). This particularly affected GTK+3 versions 3.21.6 to 3.22.24, which could end up thinking the display size was 0x0 and get badly confused. The previous workaround to this problem was to turn off the RANDR extension (by using option -extension RANDR). Note: this was going to be in 7.7.0.30 but needed correcting.
Update the OpenGL extension headers and specifications from the canonical OpenGL Registry for use in the X server build.
