- Description:
- The Xbiff program provides graphical notification of new e-mail. It only
handles mail stored in a filesystem accessible file, not via IMAP, POP
or other remote access protocols.
It displays a little image of a mailbox in the X Window System. When
there is no mail, the flag on the mailbox is down. When mail arrives,
the flag goes up and the mailbox beeps. By default, pressing any mouse
button in the image forces xbiff to remember the current size of the
mail file as being the "empty" size and to lower the flag.

- Please welcome Xorg 7.5.1
The X-Server has been patched to the latest 1.7.X series, drivers
and fonts have been updated to the latest versions. This update includes
some components from Xorg 7.6 with a lot of improvements, and it seems
that the performance is much better than the old version. Also this
Update fix build issues with clang and binutils 2.17.50 in current,
remove 6.X gruft and de-author pkg-descr.
