+     on exit.
 
-   o Added an option to the TinyX servers to prevent them from probing serial
-     ports on Linux.
+   o To avoid screen corruption on SunOS and Solaris, the server now redi-
+     rects /dev/console output while it is running, and copies that data back
+     to /dev/console on server exit.  This behaviour can be disabled through
+     a command line flag.

+3.7  Xft Library
 
-   o Changes to port the various Xsun servers to NetBSD/sparc have been
-     merged in.

-
-3.6.1  restest

-     been integrated, after rewriting it to prevent deadlocks that could
-     occur when displaying its results in an X session.
-
-3.6.2  xclock
-
-   o Make an analog xclock, when using Render, update the minute hand at most
-     every minute instead of every update interval.  This makes it consistent
-     with non-Render mode.
-
-3.6.3  xdm
-
-   o Fixed a number of memory leaks.
-
-   o Fixed bug that prevented an IPv6-aware xdm from accepting chooser con-
-     nections.

-     region to dump.

-
-   o Added support for OpenPAM on FreeBSD and NetBSD.
+   o When using BSD authentication in xdm, wipe out the password as soon as
+     possible to prevent it from appearing in the address space of subse-
+     quently forked child processes.
