[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: dash 0.5.11.5

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: dash 0.5.11.5

[Cygwin dash Co-Maintainer]

The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:

* dash	0.5.11.5

DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be
as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where
possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU
Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.

For more information see the project home page:

As there have been many changes since the previous Cygwin release please
see below; for complete details see:

The hint files were touched, but this version is still marked as test.

So as previously suggested, and as we discussed trying this when I 
upgraded readline, it does appear that we need to bump the release to 
get a stable version, so suggest we mandate release 0 for test versions, 
as that would follow naturally.

No, all you have to do is remove the "test:" tags from the hint files.  I find 
the "untest" command to be the simplest way to accomplish this:

There's no need for that.

Thanks for that pointer.

Maybe it would be a good suggestion then?

Let's move this to cygwin-apps.
