Updated: apache2-2.2.0-1

The Apache HTTPD version 2.2.0-1 packages, previously released with
testing status, are now promoted to the current distribution.

======================== IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTE ========================
Existing version 2.0 config files are MOSTLY compatible with 2.2, but
WILL require at least one change: Several modules have changed name, so
the LoadModule statements will need updating. The easiest way to do this
is to replace the existing LoadModule statements with the ones in
/etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf.

Apache 2.2 has a significantly redesigned default configuration: it has
been greatly simplified by removing all but the most essential
configuration settings. A set of example configuration settings for more
advanced features is present in the /etc/apache2/extra/ directory.
Furthermore, the naming scheme of the pristine default configuration
files has changed: Instead of /etc/apache2/httpd-std.conf, there is now
/etc/apache2/original/httpd.conf, and similarly for other files.
=======================================================================

Additionally, in Cygwin-local news:

* mod_proxy and its sub-modules are now included in the build,
  by user request.

* mod_ssl is now included in the build. I haven't received any user
  requests for this one, but I figure it's popular enough that someone
  will definitely want it eventually.

Please address requests for the inclusion of any additional modules
contained within the Apache httpd distribution itself to cygwin (at)

Updated: subversion-1.3.0-1

The Subversion 1.3.0-1 packages, previously released with testing
status, are now promoted to the current distribution.

IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE for the subversion-apache2 package:
Cygwin packages of Subversion 1.2.x are compiled against Apache 2.0.x.
Cygwin packages of Subversion 1.3.x are compiled against Apache 2.2.x.
Apache modules will ONLY work with the same release series of Apache
they are compiled against.

Subversion 1.3.0 is a new feature release of Subversion. Please see
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.3_releasenotes.html
for the upstream release notes.

(Note: you may ignore the section "Unexpected Berkeley DB Upgrades". I
have deliberately continued to use BDB 4.2 for this release, rather than
move to BDB 4.3 when Subversion support for BDB 4.4 is due to be
available soon.)

Note: The Subversion project no longer ships the Subversion Book within
the Subversion distribution. Therefore, the subversion-book Cygwin
package is now obsolete. The Subversion Book may be obtained from its
own website at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

Additionally, in Cygwin-local news:

* There is a new subversion-ruby package providing the Subversion Ruby
  bindings, due to user request.  These are somewhat experimental, as
  I have very little Ruby knowledge, so am unable to effectively test
  them.

Updated: clamav-0.88-1

clamav-0.88-2 contains the security fixes from 0.88-1 plus the shared
library cygclamav-1.dll which was not in the previous package.
Note that tomorrow another update 0.88.1-1 with minor bugfixes will follow.

About:
Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose of
this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with
the Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use in your own software.

Changes:
 Security fixes

Updated: cygutils-1.3.0-1

Cygutils is a collection of useful(?) tools for the cygwin platform. 
This is a oordination release with a new package, util-linux.

Many of the utilities in cygutils were originally adapted from 
util-linux.  A cygwin-packaged implementation of util-linux has recently 
been added to the distribution, rendering the versions in cygutils not 
only obsolete, but also making them conflict.  Therefore, this new 
release of cygutils removes the following utilities:

   cal col colcrt colrm column ddate getopt mcookie namei rename rev

If you wish to retain these utilities, you should update cygutils and 
install the new util-linux package.

New: xsri-2.1.0-1

"X Set Root Image"

This is a simple app that does nothing much -- and uses a bazillion gtk2 
libraries to do it.  However, that means it can do nothing much, but 
with STYLE.

Setting the root image isn't very effective when using cygwin-X's 
multiwindow mode, UNLESS you're using an application that implements 
pseudo-transparency, like some terminal emulators.  The cygwin rxvt 
program does so, if invoked in "X mode" using the "-ip" option.

However, xsri is still useful with other window managers, if you don't 
want to use kcontrol or gnomecontrol or whatever -- because it uses the 
(semi-)standard xatom "ESETROOT_PMAP_ID" and "_XROOTPMAP_ID" mechanisms.

EXAMPLE: within startwin.bat or startxwin.sh:
xsri --center-x --center-y --scale-height=100 --scale-width=100 
--keep-aspect --emblem=<full cygwin path to image>

Updated: ncurses-5.5-2, libncurses8-5.5-2, libncurses-devel-5.5-2, ncurses-demo-5.5-2

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 since 5.4-2:
o Update to latest release with current patchset (20060318)
o Compiled using settings to ensure ABI compatibility
   with cygncurses-8.dll [*]
o Fixed bug in tput.exe described here:
      http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00184.html
   (thanks, Samuel Thibault)

[*] forthcoming ncurses 'test' packages will turn on additional (new) 
features in the 5.5 series, but break ABI compatibility (and will 
therefore necessitate a DLL package version-bump).

Updated: terminfo-5.5_20060323-1

[does NOT require ncurses-5.5]

The terminfo package has been updated to version 5.5_20060323-1.  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 5.4_20041009-1)

o Resync'ed with 20060318 patchlevel of ncurses-5.5
o Use ncurses version of xterm now instead of custom version copied
   from x.org; the ncurses version is actually more up-to-date now.
o Small cygwin console fixes from upstream ncurses

New Package: util-linux-2.12r-2


The following package has been added to the Cygwin net release:

*** util-linux-2.12r-2

The util-linux package contains the following commands:

agetty arch cal chkdupexe col colcrt colrm column ddate fsck.cramfs
fsck.minix getopt hexdump hwclock isosize line look mcookie mkfs
mkfs.bfs mkfs.cramfs mkfs.minix mkswap more namei pg rename renice rev
script scriptreplay setsid setterm sln tailf ul whereis

INSTALLATION NOTES:

Some of the above commands were previously in cygutils; those wanting
these commands will need to *MANUALLY* select util-linux for
installation while or after upgrading to cygutils-1.3.0-1.

The agetty, more, and setsid packages are now obsoleted by this package;
setup.exe will handle that part of the transition automatically.

Yaakov
