Updated: texlive-collection-basic-20120628-2 (TEST)

The following package is now available as a test release:

*** texlive-collection-basic-20120628-2

This should fix the postinstall problems discussed here:

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2012-08/msg00009.html
   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2012-08/msg00013.html

Please test it and report any problems to the Cygwin mailing list.  It 
would be especially helpful if you would look at /var/log/setup.log.full 
after installing it, and make sure there are no errors involving updmap.

If there are no problems, this will be promoted from "test" to "current" 
within a week or two.

Updated : netcdf-4.2.1.1-1

Versions netcdf-4.2.1.1-1

   netcdf
   libnetcdf-devel
   libnetcdf7`

are available in the Cygwin distribution:

CHANGES
- New upstream release
The 4.2.1.1 release for the netCDF C libraries contains new features,
bug fixes, performance improvements, and internal refactoring. It adds
two patches to version 4.2.1 to fix bugs that significantly slowed
remote access and that incorrectly displayed some netCDF-4 strings in
the output of the ncdump utility.

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/#netcdf_relnotes

DESCRIPTION
NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is a set of software libraries
and machine-independent data formats that support the creation,
access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.

Updated: sqlite3-3.7.13-1

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
===================

Homepage: http://sqlite.org/
License : Public Domain (no, really!)

SQLite is a C library providing local database storage with a SQL 
interface.  Unlike most SQL database systems, SQLite does not accept 
connections from remote users.  Access to the database requires access 
to the file system hosting it; SQLite thus relies on the operating 
system's file security for access control.  In exchange for this 
limitation, you get a smaller, faster database engine that's easy to 
embed within a program.

CYGWIN-SPECIFIC CHANGES SINCE LAST RELEASE
==========================================

This is a *test* version which reverts the patch added to 3.7.12.1-1, 
which caused problems with Subversion as a side effect, particularly in 
systems using non-Cygwin programs with their svn checkout trees.

Through other channels, I've already gotten enough positive reports 
about this from those affected that I'm considering making it the 
current release.  I'm half-expecting SQLite 3.7.14 will come out soon 
though; if that happens soon enough, it will become "curr" and 3.7.13 
"prev", with all the older versions going away.  If 3.7.14 takes longer 
to appear than I hope it will, I'll promote 3.7.13-1 to "curr" and drop 
the ill-fated 3.7.12.1-1 release so that 3.7.3-1 becomes "prev" again 
instead.

Updated: subversion-1.7.6-1

NEWS:
=====
See CHANGES (URL below) for more information about the differences
between 1.7.6 and previous Subversion releases.

working copy unusable with previous major releases. Furthermore,
there are some issues trying to upgrade corrupt working copies.

Please see the release notes

  http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7.html

for more details about the changes in Subversion.

See

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.7.6/CHANGES

for more details about the changes in 1.7.6.

DESCRIPTION:
============
Subversion is a version control system designed to be a compelling
successor to CVS.

Updated: libpng12-1.2.50-2 Removed: libpng12-devel-1.2.50-2

The libpng packages offer the standard libraries for manipulating
PNG files, a turbo-studly lossless image format.  This is a security
update for the backwards-compatibility 1.2.x version of this library.

NOTE TO MAINTAINERS:

This DLL, cygpng12.dll, is now officially obsolete and there will be
no further updates -- not even to resolve security issues. libpng14
has been available since August 2007 (five years), so it's high time
those applications were recompiled against a more recent API version
(at this time, libpng-1.5.x).  The applications affected are:

   KDE/qt3/libqt3
   plotutils/libplotter2
   ploticus
   ming/libmingw0
   fltk/libfltk1.1
   fltk_gdi/libfltk1.1-gdi
   xemacs
   ImageMagick/libImageMagick1
   bmp2png
   gnubg
   grace
   spamprobe
   libwmf/libwmf027
   X11/xfig
   X11/libAfterImage/libAfterImage0
   X11/XmHTML/libXmHTML0
   hp2xx
   sng
