[ANNOUNCEMENT] Cygnal 2.8.99.97.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Cygnal 2.8.99.97.

[Kaz Kylheku]

Cygnal (http://www.kylheku.com/cygnal/) is a replacement for 
"cygwin1.dll" which provides native-Windows-app behaviors.

The basic idea, scope and aim of the project is that programs built in 
the Cygwin environment with its native compiler can be deployed with 
Cygnal as native Windows programs.

This is the first release of Cygnal since August 2016.

In this release, Cygnal has been rebased to Cygwin 2.9.0, from the 
previous 2.5.2.

Nor should it have, as this is really off topic for this list.

Sorry, it was not obvious to me that this was *NOT* an official announcement,
Cygnal is *NOT* a Cygwin package,
and should *NOT* have been posted with that subject prefix:
that post is deceptive.

Could we possibly have sourceware filter or bounce announcement posts with that
subject prefix, unless they come from the current maintainer(s), via the
cygwin-announce list, or the package update process, or have posts signed with a
key or cert, whichever is doable and secure?

I didn't mind hearing about Cygnal, even if it is not
official.  I think we do pretty well as we stand about
keeping the list focused.  The occasional spam gets
through, but not so many that I get concerned.

I used [ANNOUNCEMENT] simply because I saw the tag on other 
announcements.

Some people might have filters based on this exact subject line tag;
inventing a different, similar tag would evade those filters, possibly
to someone's chagrin.

I apologize to people who were curious about this, yet then disappointed
to discover that it's something other than a program that they can just
install under Cygwin and then use. Also, sorry if I broke any automated
process which relies on these specially formatted subject lines matching
official packages.

I will remember to refrain from using the tag in the future.
(which could easily be well over a year from now; whenever is the next
time I sync up with Cygwin mainline.)
