Updated: tcltk-20030128-3

I've made a new version of tcltk available for downloading.  This
version has generic symbolic links for version specific tcl/tk entities
like tclsh84.exe and libtcl84.a.  So there is a 'tclsh' file which is
linked to 'tclsh84'.

I have not created symbolic links for the dlls for hopefully obvious
reasons.

If you have problems with tcltk it is best to send them to the insight
mailing list at "insight at sources dot redhat dot com".  Then the
insight maintainers can help rectify them.  I read that mailing list,
too, of course.

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.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the
Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com".  I would appreciate
it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

CMake 1.6.1-1

CMake 1.6.1-1 is now available on Cygwin mirrors.

We are pleased to announce the release of CMake version 1.6.1. Version 1.6 includes a number of new features
to help make project management easier. Version 1.6 include TRY_COMPILE and TRY_RUN  which can be used to
test for features of the compiler or system that you are on. The MACRO command allows repeated CMakeLists
code to be encapsulated into a macro. If you need to perform very complex operations the LOAD_COMMAND
command allows you to write your own CMake command using a C API that can be compiled and loaded into CMake as
part of the configuration process. Version 1.6 includes a wxWindows based GUI for use on MacOSX. This
version includes a number of enhancements, bug fixes, and new features. The Modules directory includes a
number of new tests and macros that can be used in your projects. CMake 1.6 can be obtained from the
<http://www.cmake.org/>www.cmake.org with source code and binaries for a variety of platforms.
Thanks to all who contributed source code, modules, !

feedba
ck, and bug reports.

See www.cmake.org for more information.

Updated Cygwin Package: python-2.2.2-5

New News:
=== ====
I have updated the version of Python to 2.2.2-5.  The tarballs should be
available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly.

The main purpose of this release is to rebuild the _tkinter module
against the latest Cygwin tcltk package, tcltk-20030128-3 (i.e., Tcl/Tk
8.4.1).

Note that you must define TCL_LIBRARY and TK_LIBRARY using Win32 style
paths:

    $ export TCL_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tcl8.4)
    $ export TK_LIBRARY=$(cygpath -w /usr/share/tk8.4)

in order for _tkinter to function properly.

Old News:
=== ====
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.  If interested, see the Python web site for more details:

    http://www.python.org/                                         

Please read the README file:

    /usr/doc/Cygwin/python-2.2.2.README

since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc.

Updated: tidy-021202-1

tidy-030201-1 is now installable from setup.exe

HTML Tidy is a program to clean up and correct messy HTML pages.
Tidy is able to fix up a wide range of problems and to bring to
your attention things that you need to work on yourself.

This release addresses many small bugs, see http://tidy.sf.net/ for
details (please notice that the website contains no ChangeLog AFAICT).

This version in based on the tidylib, which is also installed (only static).
This version, like the original distribution, contains no more a
man page as it is way too outdated, please use "tidy --help".

This releases includes docs dated 2002-12-02 (that are installed) and 
tests dates 2003-01-03 (that can be used from the source package to do 
"./tidy-030201-1.sh check").

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin <at> cygwin.com .  I would appreciate if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

Updated: zsh-4.0.6-3

I've updated the version of zsh to 4.0.6-3.

This version has many, many fixes from the base Zsh team, about 640 lines
in the ChangeLog.  The 4.0.4-4.0.6 changelog is here:
http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/zsh/ChangeLog

My notes on setting up zsh are here:
http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/zsh/zsh.notes

Some additions for Cygwin:
- Fixed CDPATH bug where having root ("/") in CDPATH didn't work.
- Added a default zprofile.  This will be copied to /etc/zprofile if
  there is not already a /etc/zprofile.  This is a correction from the
  4.0.6-1 release which simply overlayed /etc/zprofile.
- New command, mkzsh, to create a default /zsh.bat file and create Desktop
  and Program Menu items.  Sorry, no man page (yet), but mkzsh --help works :)
- Added some command completions for some of the Cygwin commands:
  cygcheck     getfacl      passwd
  cygpath      mkgroup      ps_cygwin
  dumper       mkpasswd     setfacl
  These are very basic and hopefully will be improved upon later.
- Added more sample functions and startup scripts from the distribution.
  These are in /usr/doc/zsh-4.0.6/Functions and /usr/doc/zsh-4.0.6/StartupFiles

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.  Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "Net" and  
then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version
number appears if it is not displayed already.

New Cygwin package ioperm-0.3-1 is available for download.  This 
software adds support for ioperm()/iopl() functions to Cygwin.  This 
support includes sys/io.h and sys/perm.h header files (not included in 
Cygwin by default) together with development and runtime libraries.

=============================== Warning ===============================
Warning:   Current release of ioperm may decrease your system security 
on Windows NT/2000/XP because enables access to system I/O ports for 
all processes, including non-privileged.  If you are not sure, please 
do not use ioperm on Windows NT/2000/XP.
=======================================================================

To install the package, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the 
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.  
Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.  You'll find ioperm 
listed in the "Devel", "Libs" and "System" categories.

After package installation ioperm.sys driver activation is required for 
Windows NT/2000/XP.  Use `ioperm -i` command to activate the driver. 
Driver deactivation is available through `ioperm -u` command.  See 
enclosed documentation for more info.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin 
mailing list at: cygwin <at> cygwin.com with "ioperm" word in a message 
subject.  I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list 
rather than emailing me directly.

Whois 4.6.2-1 available

The most recent version of GNU Whois (4.6.2) has been uploaded to
sourceware.  This fixes the report that whois wasn't working on .org
domains.

The whois client allows you to query a whois db (RFC-812).  Using whois you
can get information on a domain name (whois redhat.com), IP addresses (whois
1.2.3.4), and more.  This tool is commonly used to determine the
owner of a domain or block of addresses, as well as get their contact
information.

You can also get partial matches.  See what happens when you ask for
microsoft.com (whois microsoft.com).

SOURCE
======
The latest stable version of GNU Whois can be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/directory/whois.html

The latest non-stable version can be found at:
http://www.linux.it/~md/software/

INSTALLATION
============
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. Then,
run setup and answer all of the questions.  To select the whois
package click on the "Net" category and click on the "skip" field until
4.6.2-1 is displayed.

Note that downloads aren't allowed from sources.redhat.com (aka  cygwin.com)
