Internal changes: - Uses the libsolv dependency solver, rather than a home-made one. - Add support for 'depends2: package (relation version) [...]', in a version section in setup.ini - Add support for 'obsoletes:' in setup.ini, likewise - Add support for 'replace-versions:' in a package section setup.ini, to indicate problematic versions. Other: - Query the user for action to take if a corrupt local file is found - Validate package hash after download - Any MessageBox shown during setup.ini parsing is now modal A big 'thank you' to Ken Brown for all his work on this. Please send bug reports, as usual, to the public mailing list cygwin AT cygwin DOT com.
