[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lftp-4.3.7-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lftp-4.3.7-1

[Andrew Schulman]

A new version of lftp, 4.3.7-1, is now available in the Cygwin
distribution.  This is a new upstream release, that fixes a few bugs since the
previous Cygwin release, version 4.3.6-1.  You can read the full changelog at
http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html.

lftp is a sophisticated file transfer program and ftp/http/bittorrent
client. It supports multiple network protocols, offers tab completion,
command history, job control, and bookmarks, can mirror sites and transfer
multiple files in parallel, and keeps trying interrupted operations until
it can complete them.

Thank you very much, Andrew.

Since the changelog is unfortunately not very specific on what got
fixed: lftp versions 4.3.4, 4.3.5 and 4.3.6 have a bug in script
execution (lftp -f <file>) that affects all scripts larger than 4096
bytes (the size of an internal buffer in lftp) and multiples thereof.

This bug has the proven potential to produce data-loss, so if you use
one of those versions you should either be sure that you never use
scripts larger than 4096 bytes or use an earlier or later version.


Regards,
Achim.
