Hello!
I have noticed that configure scripts work very slowly under Windows 95
with Cygnus-B19.1 compared with Linux on the same machine (Pentium-100,
16 Mb RAM, HDD Seagate 1.2G). Now sed-3.01 is out
( ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/ ). It compiles without warnings for Cygwin and
works several times faster!
It has also a feature specially useful for Windows, namely
non-case-sensitive search. I think, the next Cygwin release should
include the latest sed.

Im curious what features will be in the next version of Cygnus and when
it's due? I seem to recall someone saying, when x returns from Holiday,
but that was a while ago ..
Heres my wishlist:
Complete with egcs
Upto date tools :)
Paths stored in registry for cygnus and egcs
and so on ..
thanks

I don't have a firm feature list yet or a date. That said, we are
aiming to make a new release as soon as it makes sense. We're in the
middle of Cygwin32 performance optimizations right now so we are
waiting until Cygwin32 is well-tested again and ready for another
release. Windows 98 support will be present. Hopefully, EGCS 1.1
will be included as the compiler. I will let everyone know when we
know more.
I am looking into upgrading sed to 3.01 but I don't expect that it
will make that big of a difference in configure times. (Hopefully
I'm wrong). Linux has the advantage that I/O appears to be much
faster on ext2 partitions. If you compare Linux running on a fat
filesystem to NT on the same, a lot of the performance difference goes
away...

Great, can't wait.
Also, how about ...
More X libraries (native X support)
Better documentation.
Not that i've used ming, but how about including that too, so we have all
of these packages in 1 big bundle? And also a bigger cygnus tools package?
Out of curisoity too, (yes im always curious) do you guys work on it full
time?
And how many hands are there?

Could you make a known bug list available? It would be great to see
something like this updated weekly.
