We're at that time again, where your testing directly influences the quality of setup.exe that you get to run.
So, at http://www.cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/ there is a new setup.exe snapshot, that is (as far as we know) devoid of major bugs. It has many many new features. They include: * More command line options. * Can disable McAfee temporarily (for users who get blue screens when installing cygwin). * Better FTP server support. * Faster setup.ini parser (usable on > 1Mb ini files), and * Support for dpkg style syntax in setup.ini - that is the 'Sources' and 'Releases' syntax. This allows versioned file dependencies amongst other things. * Builds with g++-3, so will build OOTB on a current cygwin install. * GUI feedback during MD5 verification, so you can tell your machine has not crashed! * And many more quality tweaks. A BIG thanks to the net contributors who have helped make this beta what it is. I'll dig up a full list of names from the ChangeLog when we actually release setup.exe :}. Please, please, try this setup.exe out and tell us what you think. Rob -- --- GPG key available at: http://users.bigpond.net.au/robertc/keys.txt. ---
