This enables HTTPS and FTPS protocol support, and caching of mirrors.lst and setup.ini. The existing, hand-built URL fetching, which only supports HTTP and FTP, is still available by choosing "Direct (legacy)". - Fixes to "Use Internet Explorer Proxy Settings" mode Progress is now reported for downloads. Unwanted caching in "Temporary Internet Files" of package archives has been fixed. (Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-09/msg00403.html) A bug causing a long delay before downloading setup.ini from package repositories without a compressed setup.ini has been fixed. - Add --allow-unsupported-windows option Don't check the windows version. The Cygwin mirror list is not read, so a URL (e.g. a Cygwin time machine circa) should be given with --site or via the GUI. - Remove support for some long-obsolete setup.ini syntax (omitted version:, omitted size and checksum, various undocumented tokens) - Remove cruft Please send bug reports, as usual, to the public mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com.
