On 32-bit cygwin, this leaves 2.10-1 as previous; on 64-bit cygwin, it is a new port of the package, made possible for the first time by new sigaltstack() code in cygwin 2.1.0. NEWS: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This is a 32-bit rebuild and new 64-bit port that completely overhauls how this package works (instead of scraping Windows internals itself, it now lets cygwin do the dirty work). It is also the first release by a new maintainer; I'd like to thank Reini for his previous work in managing this package. I've also taken this opportunity to rename the 'libsigsegv' package for use only by developers into 'libsigsegv-devel'; the dependency system should automatically make things work for you if you had already downloaded the older package name in 32-bit cygwin. Most users only need the 'libsigsegv2' runtime library, and even then, only when it is automatically pulled in by the dependency system. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/libsigsegv/. DESCRIPTION: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D libsigsegv is a library for handling page faults in user mode. A page fault occurs when a program tries to access a region of memory that is not currently available. This can be used to implement stack overflow detection, memory-mapped access to persistent databases, generational garbage collectors, and other tools. Although upstream claims that the library is small enough to prefer static linking in projects using this library, the cygwin distro favors the use of only dynamic libraries. 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 'libsigsegv2' from the 'Libs' category, or 'libsigsegv-devel' from the 'Devel' category.
