The mingw-zlib package has been updated to version 1.2.1-2. zlib is a standard lossless compression library; mingw-zlib is a version built using the standard windows runtime library and NOT cygwin; it is used by setup.exe among other tools.
This is a security bugfix release. CHANGES: - Routine update to version 1.2.2 (inludes the same security patch in the earlier cygwin 1.2.1-2 release) -- Charles Wilson mingw-zlib volunteer maintainer for cygwin To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system.
