If you want to grumble, you should have said something like "these features are already available in the current snapshot" in your pre-announcement. In that case, I would have tried a snapshot a while ago. I took your pre-announcement to mean that it was the next available version except if a checkout of CVS was done - something I didn't want to do unless I really had to.. > It is a real shame that snapshots are so underutilized.

The new feature came as a complete surprise to me as I'm not on cygwin-developers and apparently no longer on cygwin-cvs (since 2003-06-21, don't know why though - one of your every-once-in-a-while cleanups perhaps?). I took your pre-announcement to mean that it would not be available in snapshots before the test release (as in that case I would have expected a "please try a snapshot" message) so I didn't try them. Ah well.. Perhaps, next time, you could be a bit more specific and I could try snapshots a bit more often, eh? rlc -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
