After this change, python36-lxml is installed instead) (See also the discussion at https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2017-10/msg00092.html et seq. (where I come to the (incorrect) conclusion that since we don't need this for interactive use, it's not needed) - Remove the 'Bin?' column The only use this column now has is that unticking it is the same as selecting the 'uninstall' action. - Packages can now depend with a version relation on the pseudo-package '_windows' (which has the same version as the Windows we are running on) (This is intended for use with the cygwin package, to prevent updates being installed on Windows versions which it has dropped support for) Please send bug reports, as usual, to the public mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com.
