Updated: typespeed-0.6.2-1

Version 0.6.2-1 of typespeed has been uploaded.

Typespeed gives your fingers' cps (total and correct), typoratio and
some points to compare with your friends.
Typespeed's idea is ripped from ztspeed (a dos game made by Zorlim).
Idea of the game should be clear to anyone: just type and type it fast,
or be a lewser.

If you're not sure what version do you have you can
use the following command to both check version number
and integrity of the install:
% cygcheck -c rsync

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

Updated: git-1.5.3-1


A new release of git, 1.5.3-1, has been uploaded, replacing 1.5.2.2-1 as
the current version.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release.  See also the package documentation in
/usr/share/doc/git-1.5.3/, along with the attached upstream release notes.

When compiled out of the box, the upstream git maintainers cater to older
cygwin releases, and intentionally disable certain features that have been
reported on their mailing list, even though they work with the latest
cygwin.  Therefore, this build turns those features back on.  However, it
means that this version does assume that you are not using FAT or FAT32 to
hold your repositories, since they do not store file permissions very
accurately.

DESCRIPTION:
============
Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open
source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.

Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools,
similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the proprietary
world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
central server.

Updated: zsh-4.3.4-1

An updated version of zsh (zsh-4.3.4-1) has been released and should be
at a mirror near you real soon.

NOTICE:
=======
This version has Multi-byte/Unicode support enabled in it.  This may or
may not present problems for existing scripts which assumed a prior
behaviour concerning multi-byte characters.  If this breaks too many
existing user scripts, then I will disable this behaviour in the next
build upon request.

This release will work with cygwin-1.5.18-1 or later.

- Note: 4.3.3 was never released for Cygwin due to stability issues.

NEWS:
=====

This release includes the following:

- Multi-byte/Unicode support.
    Work continues to improve this feature.  Please file bug reports as needed.

- Various base bug fixes and enhancements:
    Sorry, too numerous to list, see ChangeLog link below.

- Many auto-completion commands/functions/types have been added/updated.
    Sorry, too numerous to list, see ChangeLog link below.

- Fix to zftp to make Account parameter work correctly.

Updated: mutt-1.4.2.2-2

I've made a new version of 'mutt' available for installation.  Mutt is a
text mode mail user agent.  This version uses the shared version of
libiconv which reduces the size of mutt.exe dramatically.  More
importantly, it fixes the problems that were reported with FAT32
filesystems:

http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2007-08/threads.html#00549

For a listing of the files this package contains, see
http://cygwin.com/packages/mutt .

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 keep clicking "Next".

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list.

Updated: coreutils-6.9-5


A new release of coreutils, 6.9-5, previously available as experimental,
is now promoted to current, replacing 6.9-4 and leaving 6.7-2 as previous.

NEWS:
=====
This is a minor patch release.  It attempts to add some case-insensitivity
smarts to mv, cp, and install.  In other words, 'mv a A' should now cause
the file to be renamed, rather than reporting an error, if 'a' and 'A'
happen to be case-insensitive synonyms for the same file.  I've tested
this with disk files, virtual files (such as /proc), and managed mounts,
but not with CYGWIN=check_case.

See also the upstream documentation in /usr/share/doc/coreutils-6.9/.

DESCRIPTION:
============
GNU coreutils provides a collection of commonly used utilities essential
to a standard POSIX environment.  It comprises the former textutils,
sh-utils, and fileutils packages.  The following executables are included:

[ base64 basename cat chgrp chmod chown chroot cksum comm cp csplit cut
date dd df dir dircolors dirname du echo env expand expr factor false fmt
fold gkill groups head hostid hostname id install join link ln logname ls
md5sum mkdir mkfifo mknod mv nice nl nohup od paste pathchk pinky pr

tail tee test touch tr true tsort tty uname unexpand uniq unlink users

A new release of diffstat, 1.45-1, is available, replacing 1.44-1 as
current.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release.  From the CHANGES file, the changes since
1.44 are:

04-Sep-2007
	diffstat 1.45

	add "-b" option (Debian #379380, patch by Greg Norris).

See also /usr/share/doc/diffstat-1.45/.

DESCRIPTION:
============
diffstat reads the output of diff and displays a histogram of the
insertions, deletions, and modifications per-file. It is useful for
reviewing large, complex patch files.

UPDATE:
=======
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 'diffstat' from
the 'Devel' category.

Updated: gnuplot-4.2.2-1

Hi

A new version of 'gnuplot' has been uploaded to a server near you.

DESCRIPTION:
============
Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
for UNIX, MSDOS, VMS, and many other platforms.  The software is copyrighted
but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it).  It was
originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists
and students to visualize mathematical functions and data.  Gnuplot
supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
easily extensible to include new devices.
Gnuplot handles both curves (2 dimensions) and surfaces (3
dimensions). Surfaces can be plotted as a mesh fitting the specified
function, floating in the 3-d coordinate space, or as a contour plot
on the x-y plane. For 2-d plots, there are also many plot styles,
including lines, points, lines with points, error bars, and impulses
(crude bar graphs). Graphs may be labeled with arbitrary labels and
arrows, axes labels, a title, date and time, and a key.  The interface
includes command-line editing and history on most platforms.

CYGWIN NEWS:
============

o Update to latest upstream release.

It is used by subversion and cadaver.

Updated: subversion 1.4.5-1

Subversion, a version control system which aims to be a compelling
replacement for CVS, has been updated in the Cygwin net distribution to
