Recommend also upgrade dash to test release 0.5.12-5 which uses some of the new interfaces, and untest-ing this be coordinated with the Cygwin 3.5 release: Test: dash 0.5.12-5 (TEST) https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-announce/2023-March/010974.html [test] version: 0.5.12-5 ... depends2: cygwin ( >= 3.5.0-0 ) ... -- Take care.
