The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

This test release has been rebuilt re-enabling libc fnmatch and glob as
Cygwin/winsup/newlib now supports locale dependent named character and
equivalence class patterns like glibc in Cygwin versions > 3.4.6-1.
I have to clarify this.
The new features of fnmatch and glob will only be available starting
with Cygwin 3.5.0, slated for end of 2023.
Any further 3.4.x versions will only contain bugfixes, not functional
enhancements. So please don't expect this to work in 3.4.7.
So this dash version only makes sense if you install Cygwin-3.5.0
test releases on a regular basis.
I'll create another test release 5 with cygwin >= 3.5.0-0 and updated comments.
Original announcement of release 4 never appeared - resent *before* I saw post.
[Uploaded test release 4 to add dash-VER-R link, to make release tracking
easier, as dash has no version info or query support, and checking dates vs tars
is painful.]
