Hi folks,


I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.6.1-0.3.

2.6.1 will be a bugfix release only and the last release in 2016.

This 0.3 only contains an internal change which hardens reads and
writes on /dev/random and /dev/urandom against crashes.

This version will likely become the official release so please test.
