[ANNOUNCEMENT] cygwin 3.3.4-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] cygwin 3.3.4-1

[Corinna Vinschen via Cygwin-announce]

The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* cygwin-3.3.4-1
* cygwin-devel-3.3.4-1
* cygwin-doc-3.3.4-1

==========================================================================
                   IMPORTANT DEPRECATION NOTES
==========================================================================

- Cygwin 3.3 is the LAST major version supporting

  - Windows Vista
  - Windows Server 2008

- Cygwin 3.3 is the LAST major version supporting 32 bit installations.

  If you're using 32 bit Cygwin in WOW64 on 64 bit machines, consider
  to move to a real 64 bit Cygwin installation in the next couple of
  months.

  If you're using 32 bit Cygwin on real 32 bit hardware or on WOW64 on
  ARM64, don't be alarmed.  The current installations including all
  Cygwin 3.3.x versions will continue to run on your system.  You just
  wont get any more updates starting with Cygwin 3.4.0.

- Cygwin 3.4, which will probably be release at some point in 2022,
  will be the LAST version supporting

  - Windows 7
  - Windows Server 2008 R2
  - Windows 8
  - Windows Server 2012

There are no plans to deprecate support for 64 bit systems starting with
Windows 8.1 / Windows Server 2012 R2 any time soon.

==========================================================================

I've tried two mirrors, both with the same result:

    dash.exe - Bad Image

    C:\Cygwin64\bin\cygwin1.dll is either not designed to run on
Windows or it contains an error....Error status 0xc000007b.

I'm running Windows 11 Pro (21H2), OS Build 22000.469

The previous version has been working just fine.

I saw the same errors this morning with Windows 10 Pro for Workstations 
(10.0.19044). I also tried two mirrors. I ended up rolling back to the 
previous version as well.

Same here. There's something amiss with 3.3.4-1, IMHO. I grabbed the XZ's manually from mirrors.dotsrc.org.

Replying here to close the loop on this thread: I suspect this is now
fixed in the 3.3.4-2 release:

For those of us who are experiencing this problem, what is the actual 
method of resolving this problem?  It's not obvious to me.

THANKS

I manually downloaded the XZ package from a mirror. Then decompressed it. Then replaced the cygwin1.dll in my Cygwin install directory (C:\Cygwin64).
http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/cygwin/x86_64/release/cygwin/cygwin-3.3.3-1.tar.xz

Then re-run Setup and choose the prior version in the drop down menu for the cygwin-* package(s).

Setup can run without Cygwin. It's the post-install bits/jobs/tasks that require a functioning Cygwin install. Which means you should be able to start Setup, then change it to "All" (from "Pending") on the "Select Packages" dialog. Then find your installed "cygwin-"  packages, then to the right is a drop down. Choose the previous version 3.3.3-1 (from 3.3.4-1).

Of course you can wait till the just released update lands on your mirror or pick-n-choose mirrors until you find one with the 3.3.4-2 version on it.

Seems to be resolved with 3.3.4-2.

Thanks!
