Updated: xerces-c-2.3.0-1

I've updated the version of xerces-c to 2.3.0-1.  This also includes the
xerces-c-devel, xerces-c-doc, and libxerces-c23 packages.

This is an official update release.  The official release announcement text
follows:

The Xerces-C team is pleased to announce that Xerces-C 2.3.0 is now
available.  The primary features of this release are:

- pluggable memory management:  Allows an application to have Xerces
request memory from a user-supplied object rather than directly from the
heap.  To allow for maximum flexibility, this has been implemented on a
per-parser basis;
- pluggable panic handler:  The user may now register an object with the
parser that the will notify when it cannot initialize itself;
- security handling:  a means is now provided allowing applications to
limit the extent to which the parser will process certain XML constructs
that could be exploited in a denial-of-service attack.
- partial implementation of DOM level 3 normalization.

The release is available in both source and binary formats; the binary
formats that are provided are for 32- and 64-bit versions of AIX, HPUX,
Linux, Solaris and Windows.  They can be downloaded from
http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-c/stable/.

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 "Libs"
("Devel" for the xerces-c-devel package, "Doc" for the xerces-c-doc
package) and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced

Updated: mc-4.6.0-3

The Midnight Commander visual shell has been updated to version 4.6.0-3.

This update brings you a Midnight Commander linked against the latest
version of the ncurses library available on Cygwin.

NOTE:

A simple patch was applied to src/regex.c to enable the build. The code
in regerror() references __mempcpy() which is glibc specific. The patch
replaces the __mempcpy() call with a call to mempcpy() which is exported
by the Cygwin dll. This issue did not surface so far since Cygwin was
missing mempcpy() until recently.

The issue was brought to the attention of the MC developers.

Midnight Commander 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. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'mc' from the 'Utils' category.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

New PCRE packages available for download

New News:
=========
The pcre package has been split into several sub-packages. The new 
packages should be available on the various mirrors shortly.

Note though that I made a mistake when making the various .hint files - 
they have been fixed and should propagate with the packages, but updating 
pcre right away might break your installation - please wait until 
tomorow..

The rationale for splitting up the pcre packages is amply explained in the 
cygwin-apps mailing list archives. To summarize, it allows for the API 
version of the various libraries to be put in the archive & library 
filenames (libpcre0, libpcre1, etc.) to prevent utilities from breaking 
when the newly released pcre libraries are binary-incompatible.

To update your installation:
===========================
Run the Setup utility from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and pick up the 
proper packages.

Problem reports:
===============
Please send reports of any problems related to these packages to 
cygwin <at> cygwin.com and *do not* mail me personally. I moniter the list on a 
regular basis.

Note to maintainers of packages that depend on pcre:
===================================================
Please update your dependencies to make your packages depend on libpcre
