Sure, but you should have tested that as soon as you announced your
plan to provide a cygwin package. Actually there is no regression that
I know of on the cygwin front. What happened is that we did not have
the time to complete correctly a new feature.

I'm sorry if this feels harsh, but we had way too many bug reports in
the days before release. I understand that the windows crash were
hidden by the focus-patch problem, but even that should have been
detected earlier.

Basically, the idea is that to act as if the stable branch can be
released at any time. The good part is that now that the cygwin
package and the msvc builds are done, they have little reason to
break. So I do not think these problems will repeat.
