Updated: cygwin-1.5.3-1

I've made a new version of the Cygwin DLL and associated utilities
available for download.  As usual, a list of what has changed is below.

This is the first non-test 1.5.x release.  This means that the 1.5.x
series of the cygwin DLL will be the default from now on.

As previously reported here, 1.5.x versions of cygwin1.dll contain major
changes in some APIs such that 64 bit file I/O operations are now
available.  This means that some structures such as those found in
'stat' and 'dirent' have changed.  This version also supports 32 bit
uids.  Older applications will continue to work correctly but DLLs and
libraries which use any structures whose size has changed will need to
be recompiled and relinked.

There have been two problems with previous 1.5.x releases.  One involved
any application that used fdopen and another involved any application
that used -lc on the command line.  If you have rebuilt a library or
application for 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 and you used either of these, you will
need to relink your app for 1.5.3.  I'm very sorry for the
inconvenience.  Executables linked for/with 1.5.2 or 1.3.32 or earlier
should continue to work fine.

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 questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin <at> cygwin.com .

Updated: binutils-20030901-1

I've made a new version of binutils available for installation.
This version is a refresh from CVS on sources.redhat.com.

Notable changes:

Adds the ability to use exports from an executable and the ability to
create a separate file holding debug info.

Fixed dlltool so that the tmp files it creates are unique, allowing
"make -jN" to operate successfully when building import libraries.

libcygwin.a is treated as a "special" library so that globals from this
library are not reexported.

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.

Updated: gdb-20030901-1 (also includes GUI "insight" debugger)

I've made a new version of the gdb debugger available for installation.
This version is a refresh from the CVS repository on sources.redhat.com.
The package also contains the "insight" graphical debugger.

I just noticed that, while the package is labelled gdb-20030901-1, gdb
identifies itself as gdb 2003-09-02.  This is undoubtedly due to the
fact that the gdb version file from CVS is generated in UTC.  It is
nothing to be alarmed about.  Or, rather, if you are alarmed, please
confine your alarm to your immediate family, pets, etc. and do not
bother the mailing list.

Unlike most cygwin packages, my preference is that bug reports for the
insight debugger should go to the insight mailing list on
sources.redhat.com.  If you do send an insight problem to the cygwin
mailing list, expect to be redirected there.

Remember that to start the insight debugger, you type "insight".  Typing
"gdb" just brings up the command line debugger.

Updated: bzip2-1.0.2-5, libbz2_1-1.0.2-5

bzip2 provides the bzip2.exe / bunzip2.exe executables, a 
patent-unencumbered but highly effective compression tool.  This release 
is built against the cygiwn-1.5.x kernel; it will not work with 1.3.22.

CHANGES:

- Now explicitly calls setmode(*,O_BINARY) on stdout/stdin
   (e.g. piping compressed data)
- Recompiled against cygwin-1.5.2 kernel.
- documentation moved to /usr/share/*

Updated: xpm-nox-4.2.0-4

The xpm-nox package contains the DLL, static library, and import library 
for the X-less version of the Xpm library.  This release ALSO contains 
the X-based DLL, cygXpm-X4.dll, so that older executables will continue 
to operate correctly (*).  Newly compiled programs will use the "real"
libXpm.dll from the cygwin-xfree project, or the X-less cygXpm-noX4.
dll, depending on compile-time settings (see below).

This release is built against the cygiwn-1.5.x kernel; it will not work 
with 1.3.22.

CHANGES:

- documentation moved to /usr/share/*
- recompiled against cygwin-1.5.2
- add sxpm back to the distribution.  It won't work without XFree86
   installed and an xserver running -- but we do NOT list XFree86 as
   a dependency (that would defeat the whole purpose of this package,
   after all).

As concerns the X-less Xpm library, the header files are located in
/usr/include/noX/, and the import/static libs are now located in
/usr/lib/noX/.

This means that in order to link against the non-X-based Xpm libraries,
you must
    a) compile using '-I/usr/include/noX'
    b) compile with the '-DXPM_NO_X' flag
    c) link using '-L/usr/lib/noX'
In some cases, for instance 'configure'-based packages, you have to
do it this way:
