The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:

* libssh2_1			1.9
* libssh2-devel			1.9
* mingw64-x86_64-libssh2	1.9
* mingw64-i686-libssh2		1.9

libssh2 is a library implementing the SSH2 protocol, supporting many features.

The Mingw packages provide Mingw MS VC RT-linked binaries, NOT Cygwin binaries,
for use with the mingw64-{x86_64,i686}-gcc cross compilers, installed in
/usr/{x86_64,i686}-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/{bin,lib,include}/.
