This version incorporates a number of bug fixes and new features, as listed below. - Fix crash when trying to MD5 a non-existant package file that failed to download. - Don't append a trailing slash to local package directory location if it already has one, or it ends in a backslash. - Be more robust in falling back to setup.ini if setup.bz2 doesn't exist or appears to be corrupt. - Fix crashes and improve specificity of error messages when encountering an .ini file parse error. Make progress meter active during parsing of a bz2-compressed .ini file. - At the last install step, inform the user of success/failure at the bottom of the main panel instead of with an annoying message box popup. - Fix bug that caused a wrong version of a source package to be selected in some cases due to erroniously comparing versions as text instead of numerically. - Gracefully handle the case where two packages contain a postinstall script of the same name. - Allow interactively retrying to replace open files. - Create Cygwin.bat with upper-case C to make filename TAB completion of /cygdrive more convenient. - Fix unreadable chooser page due to bad background colour problem. - Make categories named with an initial "." default to expanded display. - Fix a class of crashes due to poor string handling. Remove use of custom String class in favor of std::string. - Update DNS names to preferred forms: cygwin.com and sources.redhat.com. - Handle dropped mirrors elegantly. - Fix incorrect logging of postinstall script success/failure. - Provide indication of site that a file is being downloaded from. - Fix command line options to override cached selections. - Sort the mirrors list by logical structure of DNS names. - Do not attempt to reopen a missing package database on initial install. - Cache mirror list and use local copy if server unavailable. - Slightly improve logged error messages. - Run postinstall scripts in dependency order. - Fix problem of FTP connections timing out and not being retried. - Change checkbox label to "Hide obsolete packages" and add tooltip that explains in more detail what it does. - Set tooltip timeout delay to 30 seconds. - Fix problem of text and icons using white background instead of user's selected color. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
