The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** xorg-server-1.11.1-1
*** xorg-server-dmx-1.11.1-1

These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers.

This is the first release of the xserver 1.11 series.  It is currently 
available as a test release, and will be made stable in approximately one week 
if no major regressions are reported.

Please try test releases and report problems to the Cygwin/X mailing list. 
Testing helps ensure good releases!

In addition to upstream fixes and improvements [1][2], this contains the 
following cygwin-specific changes since 1.10.3-1:

* Make XWin support the same XKB private actions for grab debugging as XOrg
* Minimize redraw events after resizing/moving windows in multiwindow mode 
(Thanks to Oliver Schmidt for patch)
* Fix AltGr key sometimes firing an additional Ctrl-L key on non-US keyboards 
(Thanks to Oliver Schmidt for patch)
* Handle some more Motif window decoration hints

Due to the way we currently work around some linkage problems with Mesa due to 
PE/COFF limitations, you should also upgrade libGL1 to 7.10.3-1 or you may 
experience X server crashes when using OpenGL applications which use indirect 
rendering.
