NEWS: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This is a minor patch release; it incorporates a new cygwin-specific patch that was accepted into upstream dash.git that allows 'cd c:' to change directories to '/cygdrive/c' (or however your mount options spell it) instead of complaining that './c:' doesn't exist. Of course, you're still better off using POSIX-y paths to begin with instead of relying on drive letters, but as this had been requested on the cygwin list in the past and was a simple enough patch that upstream took it, I don't mind backporting it now rather than waiting for the next upstream release. For now, there are no immediate plans of replacing /bin/sh with dash, but the possibility remains for the future. See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/dash/. DESCRIPTION: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks. UPDATE: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'diffutils' in the 'Base' or 'Shells' category (it should already be automatically selected). Be sure that you do not have any cygwin programs running during the upgrade. DOWNLOAD: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Note that downloads from cygwin.com aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations.
