Subject: Release: mintty 2.0.1
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2015 22:24:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5596FC1B.8060907@towo.net> (raw)

After closing half of the open issues, I thought it’s a good time to 
release mintty.
I’ve bumped the major version number to 2 to reflect the change of 
repository and maintainer and somehow catch up with cygwin...

Major new features and fixes are listed below. See also the changelog in 
the Wiki
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki
For new options, there is no GUI configuration facility yet ("Hidden 
settings"). Please ask for them if desired.

The homepage is at http://mintty.github.io/
It also links to the issue tracker.
