Updated: OpenSSH-3.6.1p1-1

I've just updated the version of OpenSSH to 3.6.1p1-1.

This is an official bug fix release as of today.  The Cygwin version is
build from the vanilla sources.

Official Release Message:
====================================================================
OpenSSH 3.6.1 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.

OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.

We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued
support to the project, especially those who contributed source and
bought T-shirts or posters.

We have a new design of T-shirt available, more info on
        http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html#18

For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order
and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu

Changes since OpenSSH 3.6:
==========================

* The 'kex guesses' bugfix from OpenSSH 3.6 triggers a bug
  in a few other SSH v2 implementations and causes connections to
  stall.  OpenSSH 3.6.1 disables this bugfix when interoperating
  with these implementations.

Updated: rxvt-2.7.10-3

rxvt is a terminal program that can be used instead of the windows
command shell.  It does not require an X server.

This build fixes a configuration issue that caused the app to use a 
generic icon.

Updated: swig-1.3.19-1

I've updated the version of SWIG to 1.3.19-1. Tarballs should
be available on the Cygwin mirrors shortly.

As per the SWIG web page (http://www.swig.org):

  SWIG (Simplified Wrapper Interface Generator) is a software
  development tool that connects programs written in C and C++
  with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is
  primarily used with common scripting languages such as Perl,
  Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, Guile and MzScheme, however the list
  of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages
  such as Java and OCAML. SWIG is most commonly used to create
  high-level interpreted programming environments, user
  interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++
  software. SWIG may be freely used, distributed, and modified
  for commercial and noncommercial use.

Version 1.3.19 is a regular development release of SWIG. More
information, including release notes and user documentation,
can be found in the directory /usr/doc/swig-1.3.19/.

***LATE-BREAKING NEWS***

One thing that won't be currently found in that directory is
an issue that has come up with the latest Cygwin release of
Perl (5.8.0), which uses 64-bit integers. This results in
some warnings of the following type when compiling the output
of SWIG:
  warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

Updated: cURL 7.10.4

cURL has been updated to version 7.10.4-1.

Along with a large number of bugfixes, this release includes 
these changes:

7.10.3:
 o Added CURLOPT_PRIVATE and CURLINFO_PRIVATE
 o Added CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES
 o Added --create-dirs
 o The first few libcurl test cases have been added
 o configure --enable-maintainer-mode was added

7.10.4:
 o curl tool "clears" sensitive commands line args from ps output
 o no emacs local variables in the source files anymore, curl-style.el 
   is the new file to use.
 o the "scratch buffer" only allocated when actually needed. This 
   drasticly reduces the amount of memory used for a single handle.
 o started implementing the 'share' system (detailed elsewhere)
 o removed the strequal and strnequal macros from curl/curl.h
 o added CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH / --location-trusted

See the following URLs for full release details, including bugfixes:
 7.10.3: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2003-01/0054.html
 7.10.4: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2003-04/0002.html

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 

To obtain this update, run Cygwin's setup.exe wizard.

Updated: ncurses-5.3-1; New: libncurses7-5.3-1, libncurses-devel-5.3-1, ncurses-demo-5.3-1

The ncurses package has been updated to ncurses-5.3-1.  However, because 
the ABI has changed, the DLLs are packaged in yet another libncurses* 
package, libncurses7 (which can coexist with libncurses6 and 
libncurses5).  Further, to reduce the size of the Base installation, 
I've split out certain demo programs and the development libraries into 
separate packages (ncurses-demo and libncurses-devel) which are NOT part 
of the Base category.  Read the first paragraph of the INSTALLATION 
section below, even if you normally skip it -- it's not boilerplate this 
time.

ncurses is a package that provides character and terminal handling 
libraries, including 'gui-like' panels and menus.  It is often used 
instead of termcap.

Changes (from ncurses-5.2-8)
   o update to the 5.3 source

   o The upstream maintainer has done a lot of work to enable shared lib 
building on cygwin -- but he did it in a way completely different than 
mine.  Once I figured out what he was doing, I could see that it was 
better.  But it hasn't been as heavily tested as our version, so despite 
the month of 'test' release status, some warts are expected over the 
next few months.  Worse, since his approach differs, it means that there 
are ABI changes and we have to bump to '7' from our current ABI=6.  On 
the plus side, the non-packaging/documentation patch size has been 
reduced by over 75%.

   o split the monolithic ncurses-5.2-8 package into three: 
libncurses-devel-5.3-1 (link libraries and headers), ncurses-demo-5.3-1 
(the /usr/bin/ncurses-test-dll/*.exe stuff), and ncurses-5.3-1

Updated: terminfo-5.3-2

The terminfo package has been updated to version 5.3-2.  It
contains the terminfo database that enables proper operation
of ncurses-based applications.  Normally, the terminfo database
is distributed WITH ncurses; but we've split it out to enable
updates on an accelarated schedule.

CHANGES (since 5.3-1)
o fixed errors in 'TERM=cygwin' terminal definition

-- 
Charles Wilson
terminfo volunteer maintainer for cygwin

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 update the terminfo package.

Note that we have recently stopped downloads from sources.redhat.com
(aka cygwin.com) due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you
will  need to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US,
ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In the UK,
http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/
is usually up-to-date within 48 hours.
