Sorry, wrong list.
Please wait until 4.0-5 is properly released and announced to install
it using setup.exe.

My apologies for the misleading message above. It wasn't intended to
reach this list.

Indeed. Thanks for catching it.

In the future, would you make available a list of changes that does not
require first installing the package?  I like to look at the list of
changes before upgrading a package.

I was just testing some experimental Cygwin code on Windows 2000.

I now get this on every invocation of the shell:

bash: /proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/
CurrentVersion/Windows/Device: No such file or directory

In fact there is no Device value.  I guess /etc/profile should check
the file for existence before trying to read it.
