mintty 0.6.2-1 is on its way to the Cygwin mirrors. This is a
maintenance release with a few small fixes and improvements.
DESCRIPTION
===========
Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user
interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode
support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is
largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server.
Mintty is based on code from PuTTY by Simon Tatham and team.
CHANGES
=======
- Tweaked double-click selection and Ctrl-click opening to recognise
URLs with parameters.
- Added ability to kill the child process outright using SIGKILL
instead of SIGHUP by holding down Shift while using the close button,
Alt+F4 shortcut, or menu item.
- Support maximized startup on Windows 7.
- Fixed issue when copying text that caused black blocks to appear at
the end of lines when pasting into some applications, e.g. WordPad.
- Fixed an issue with the left Ctrl key not being recognised when it
was pressed while another window was active.
- Keep the mintty window open showing an error message if invoking the
shell or specified command fails.
- Changed fallback shell back to /bin/sh.
- Save both the G0 and G1 charset settings when saving the cursor or
switching to the alternate screen.
