After closing half of the open issues, I thought it’s a good time to
release mintty.
I’ve bumped the major version number to 2 to reflect the change of
repository and maintainer and somehow catch up with cygwin...
Major new features and fixes are listed below. See also the changelog in
the Wiki
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki
For new options, there is no GUI configuration facility yet ("Hidden
settings"). Please ask for them if desired.
The homepage is at http://mintty.github.io/
It also links to the issue tracker.
