This release only targets the 32-bit build; the 64-bit build of cygwin remains with newer readline 6.2-1. I will also be posting a test version of readline-6.3.8-1 in the near future. NEWS: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This is a minor rebuild to sort out packaging issues and refresh against newer cygwin (no source changes). I have renamed the development package from 'readline' to 'libreadline-devel', to match the naming convention already in the 64-bit build. The 'readline' package is now obsolete, but still exists to ensure a smooth upgrade path (setup.exe will automatically suggest that you install libreadline-devel if you had previously installed the non-essential readline); the essential 'libreadline7' dll package has no change. I also added a 'readline-debuginfo' package. Remember, you must not have any bash or /bin/sh instances running when you upgrade the readline package. This release requires cygwin-1.7.33-1 or later. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/readline/. NOTES: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Be aware that an issue with offering libreadline as both a static and dynamic library has been identified - some functions, such as rl_function_of_keyseq, cannot work correctly with both library styles without some additional __declspec decoration in the dynamic case. This release caters to static compilation (and packages like bash that use the problematic functions from dynamic readline have to add a minimal workaround); so the upcoming readline 6.3 will be dynamic only. DESCRIPTION: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The readline library will read a line from the terminal and return it, allowing the user to edit the line with emacs or vi editing keys. It also allows a history feature, for editing previous entries, making command line interfaces easier-to-use and more intuitive. libreadline7 provides the .dlls needed for readline and history expansion for dynamic linking in other programs, including bash and gdb; it is required for a minimal cygwin installation. The 7 in libreadline7 distinguishes incompatible API changes made to the prior libreadline5 and libreadline6 libraries still available on the mirrors. readline provides the documentation and the static libraries required for static linking; you should only need it if you plan on compiling an application that links with -lreadline or -lhistory. UPDATE: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 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 'libreadline7' in the 'Base' category (it should already be selected), or 'libreadline-devel' in the 'Devel' category.
