[ANNOUNCEMENT] New version of the Cygwin setup.exe program released

I have updated the Cygwin setup utility to version 2.510.2.1. This release contains a number of bugfixes and additional features, which are summarized below. The setup.exe file can be downloaded from or by clicking on "Install Cygwin Now" on the main cygwin.com page

I just discovered that after upgrading from snapshot 20050716 to 20050905 my OOo build hangs. Sorry, I didn't update/test the snapshots on this machine (Opteron 2.4GHz, cygcheck.log attached.) more frequently. ... Is the newest snapshot any better? I'll it try now. This will take a few hours.
