I haven't run Xastir from Cygwin in about ten months (I prefer Xastir under Linux), but I am a regular Cygwin user and read the Cygwin mail lists religiously.

If I read of any Cygwin changes that I suspect will affect Xastir, I will try to make note of them here.

And, yes, they did rename the Xfree86 package to Xorg-X11. Evidently, there has been a huge rift develop within the Xfree86 project which has prompted a number of developers to switch to the Xorg-X11 project.

The Cygwin setup will now list all Xfree86 packages under ZZZRemoved_Packages. When you update your Cygwin, simply select the new Xorg-X11 packages, and keep the ZZZRemoved_Packages selected so setup will remove the old Xfree86 packages.
