[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: chere-1.3-1 (x86 and x86_64)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: chere-1.3-1 (x86 and x86_64)

[Dave Kilroy]

Version 1.3-1 of "chere" has been uploaded and should be available from 
mirrors shortly.

chere is a script allowing you to add Explorer context menus to start 
cygwin in the selected directory.

This version of the script supports x86 and x86_64. If you have 32 and 
64 bit cygwin installed on the same machine, you can add separate 
context menu entries to start 32 or 64 bit terminals. The default menu 
text does not differentiate between 32 and 64 bit, so if you do this you 
should use the -e option.

Changes:
* Add background context menus on Windows 7 and later
* Support 64 bit cygwin

Fixes:
* Change to appropriate drive when shell is cmd
* Quote path for cmd correctly
* Uninstall correctly when cygwin not in path

Hello, Dave I am using these registry entries with command one-liners to launch
bash and mintty from the Windows 8 explorer context menus.  They works fine
with directory names containing apostrophes (e.g. "C:\t'e s  t\"). Take a
look on it if this can be adapted for the first method (-1) of chere to
address the problem with the apostrophes for it.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: chere-1.4-1 (x86 and x86_64)

[Dave Kilroy]

Version 1.4-1 of "chere" has been uploaded and should be available from 
mirrors shortly.

chere is a script allowing you to add Explorer context menus to start 
cygwin in the selected directory.

This script supports x86 and x86_64 simultaneously. If you have 32 and 
64 bit cygwin installed on the same machine, you can add separate 
context menu entries to start 32 or 64 bit terminals. The default menu 
text does not differentiate between 32 and 64 bit, so if you do this you 
should use the -e option.

Changes:
* Use getent to identify the user login shell when the shell is 
unspecified or set as passwd
* Support fish shell

Fixes:
* Allow cd'ing to directories containing single quotes when using 
registry one-liners (-1)
