I would like to provide an upgrade to the final version 8 release 8.32, initially as a TEST release, before working on the latest release 9.1. Package sources and archives are available online at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z_giKv3QIUbYvSNOiTtMMr644v-wOG_k and builds in playground from: https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/playground.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/playground https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=playground&status=&user=Brian+Inglis&id=4119 https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/2239985902 The jobs appear to fail because some checks fail and return non-zero status. Comparing checks between ciurrent and proposed releases and across x86/_64/CI jobs, there appear to be fewer failures despite more tests. All feedback is encouraged and gratefully received. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada This email may be disturbing to some readers as it contains too much technical detail.
