Updated: libsigsegv-2.10-1

I included Eric Blake's [PATCH] Avoid polluting cygwin namespace,
also at http://repo.or.cz/w/libsigsegv/ericb.git
Successfully tested with clisp.

See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2011-05/msg00000.html

It's a small library for handling page faults in user mode.
A page fault occurs when a program tries to access to a region of memory
that is currently not available.
It is mainly required in clisp for generational garbage collection,
m4 also uses it for stack overflow protection.

[security] updated: lftp-4.2.3-1

A new version of lftp, 4.2.3-1, is now available in the Cygwin
distribution.  This release includes the following SECURITY UPDATE from
upstream:

* don't write passwords to transfer_log.

As always see http://lftp.yar.ru/news.html for the full changelog.  

All lftp users are encouraged to upgrade.  The previous Cygwin release,
4.2.2-1, has been removed from the archive.

lftp is a sophisticated file transfer program and ftp/http/bittorrent
client. It supports multiple network protocols, offers tab completion,
command history, job control, and bookmarks, can mirror sites and transfer
multiple files in parallel, and keeps trying interrupted operations until
it can complete them.

Updated: git-1.7.5.1-1, git{k,-gui,-completion,-svn}-1.7.5.1-1

A new release of git, 1.7.5.1-1, has been uploaded, and will be
available for use when your mirror catches up.  This leaves 1.7.4-1 as
previous.

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

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.

[SECURITY] Updated: {apr1,libapr1,libapr1-devel}-1.4.4-1

apr1 has been updated to the latest upstream release. It includes a
fix for CVE-2011-0419.

CYGWIN NEWS:
============
This build still has F_SETLK support disabled, as the tests were
failing with that enabled.

NEWS:
=====
Please see

  http://www.apache.org/dist/apr/CHANGES-APR-1.4

for more details about the upstream changes

DESCRIPTION:
============
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to
create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable
and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific
implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which
software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not
identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their
software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case
conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific
deficiencies or features.

Updated: {xz/liblzma-devel}-5.0.2_20110517-1; New: liblzma5-5.0.2_20110517-1

The xz package is the successor to lzma.  Its command-line tools
support both .lzma files and the new .xz format, and it ships with
compatibility links so you don't even need to retrain your fingers:
'lzma', 'lzcat', etc, are all still present. However, you probably
should: .xz files are already being used by some upstream source
distribution sites, including GNU FSF, and the new format includes
features (such as internal integrity checks) that the old .lzma
format lacks.

The xz package provides a new runtime library: liblzma supports
encoding as well as decoding, both .lzma and .xz streams. The older
liblzmadec library supported decoding .lzma streams only.

This is the first cygwin release of xz since it has been declared
'stable' by upstream (that is, non-beta).  Thus, the upstream DLL
number has been changed to "5", so all newly built clients will use
'cyglzma-5.dll' rather than the beta 'cyglzma-1.dll'.

[[ compiled using gcc-4.3.4-4 ]]

[SECURITY] Updated: mintty-0.9.8-1

mintty 0.9.8-1 is on its way to the Cygwin mirrors.

CHANGES
=======
- Fixed a security issue with the OSC 701 sequence for setting and
querying the terminal's locale, which allowed an arbitrary string (not
including line endings) to be set as the locale and then echoed back
as if typed by the user. Querying the locale now will only return
valid locale strings.
- Dropped the mintty-specific OSC 7776 sequence, which did the same as
OSC 701 (as introduced by rxvt-unicode).
- Implemented rxvt-unicode's private mode 1015 for encoding mouse
events, which unlike standard xterm mouse reporting uses properly
formed CSI sequences and which allows for unlimited mouse coordinates.
- Implemented missing xterm control sequences for window operations:
set pixel size, get screen size in characters, refresh window, full
screen.
- Implemented selective erase, where the DECSCA sequence can be used
to set a protection attribute on characters, which are then left alone
by the DECSED (selective erase in display) and DECSEL (selective erase
in line) operations.
- Implemented DECRQSS sequences for requesting various parameters
including current text attributes and scroll margins.
- Tightened up parsing of control sequences and brought it more into
line with xterm. Control characters within ESC and CSI sequences now
get processed. Missing CSI parameters are treated as zero, whereas
extraneous parameters are ignored. APC and PM string sequences now get
parsed and ignored.
- If an AltGr key combination yields a character that can't be encoded
in the current charset, the AltGr is treated as Alt instead.
