NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release. For now, there are no immediate plans of replacing /bin/sh with dash, but the possibility remains for the future. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/dash/. DESCRIPTION: ============ DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks. UPDATE: ======= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'diffutils' in the 'Base' or 'Shells' category (it should already be automatically selected). Be sure that you do not have any cygwin programs running during the upgrade. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from cygwin.com aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin dash package maintainer For more details on this list (including unsubscription), see: http://sourceware.org/lists.html
