README file: which gives a general overview, our licensing requirements, developer information and web location to download the source tarballs and patches;
Release Notes: for a summary of what this particular release contains;
Installation Notes: for information about what files to download for binary distributions, and how to install them for your particular environment.

Once you have read the above documentation, binaries for XFree86 4.5.0 can be found on our ftp and http servers. For those who also desire the 4.5.0 source and source patches, they can be downloaded from our ftp server here.

Alternatively, the 4.5.0 source code can be obtained directly from our public CVS server under the release tag xf-4_5_0. Post-release fixes, those patches that were applied too late to be included in the 4.5.0. release, are on the branch called xf-4_5-branch.
