GNU CLISP 2.33.1 (2004-05-22) bug fix release

Common Lisp is a high-level, general-purpose programming language.
GNU CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible of Karlsruhe
University and Michael Stoll of Munich University, both in Germany.
It mostly supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard.
It runs on most Unix workstations (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, BeOS, NeXTstep, IRIX, AIX and others) and on
other systems (Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98/ME) and needs only
2 MB of RAM.
It is Free Software and may be distributed under the terms of GNU GPL,
while it is possible to distribute commercial proprietary applications
compiled with GNU CLISP.
The user interface comes in German, English, French, Spanish, Dutch
and Russian.
GNU CLISP includes an interpreter, a compiler, a debugger, CLOS,
a foreign language interface, sockets, i18n, fast bignums and more.
An X11 interface is available through CLX, Garnet, CLUE/CLIO.
GNU CLISP runs Maxima, ACL2 and many other Common Lisp packages.

More information at
  <http://clisp.cons.org/>,
  <http://www.clisp.org/>,
  <http://www.gnu.org/software/clisp/> and
  <http://clisp.sourceforge.net/>.
Sources and selected binaries are available by anonymous ftp from

and their mirrors.

Updated: rsync-2.6.2-1


I have uploaded version 2.6.2-1 of the open source utility that provides
fast incremental file transfer.
It needed no patch at all.
See website for the exact changes:
http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.2-NEWS
Please notice also that this release contains also a SECURITY FIX,
versions prior to 2.6.1 are not considered "secure" anymore.

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: ssmtp-2.60.9-1

I have updated the version of ssmtp to 2.60.9-1.

Upstream, there's a new maintainer; along with some minor changes, two
format string vulnerabilities were removed.  See
http://packages.debian.org/testing/mail/ssmtp

Meanwhile, I've changed the config file generator (/usr/bin/ssmtp-config).
A possibly important change: it encourages a default of
FromLineOverride=YES, which means that ssmtp will retain an existing From:
line rather than creating its own.  This seems sensible to me.  If you
don't use ssmtp-config again, nothing will change for you.

Also, thanks to Jari Aalto it will offer any settings from the current
config file as defaults; and I made it more verbose, on the theory that
when a program has only five options you might as well understand them.

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.
The ssmtp package is in the Mail category.

ssmtp is an extremely simple sendmail replacement, which forwards messages
to a mailhub (e.g., your ISP's outgoing mail server), and does nothing
else.

Please read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ssmtp-2.60.9.README for configuration
information.

Libxml2 has been updated to version 2.6.9

Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome

Updated: vim-6.3-1

I've just updated vim to version 6.3-1.

This is an official new release, based on the vanilla sources.

The official release message as of two hours ago:

========================================================================
Announcing:  Vim (Vi IMproved) version 6.3
    Author:  Bram Moolenaar et al.

Announcement
------------

This is a bugfix release of Vim.  Since Vim 6.2 hundreds of reported
problems have been fixed.  Also included are new and updated syntax
files, translated menus and messages.

Two Beta versions revealed a number of problems, mostly for MS-Windows
98.  They have all been fixed and tested again.  A few old problems were
also fixed.  I am confident that the 6.3 release is the most stable Vim
ever!

The main new features are:
- Support for translated help files.  The files themselves are available
  separately, see http://www.vim.org/translations.php.
- More conversions are possible on Macintosh and MS-Windows without help
  of the iconv library.
- Amiga binaries are included again.  My Amiga was miraculously healed
  from a harddisk problem.
- The Win32 self-installing exe now also includes vim.exe, the console
