[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: lynx-2.8.5-3


I've updated the version of lynx to 2.8.5-3.

This is a security update.  It fixes a buffer overflow problem which
allows to execute arbitrary code when visiting malicious web sites
(CAN-2005-3120).

Since the new version has no official new name, you can differ the old
and new version by their build date or by their md5sum:

Old: $ lynx --version
     Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.2 (22 Apr 2004)
     libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a
     Built on cygwin Jul  6 2005 11:15:49

     $ md5sum /bin/lynx.exe
     6ba22c808c76ec9a00792cbfccc62a29 */bin/lynx.exe

New: $ lynx --version
     Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.2 (22 Apr 2004)
     libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a
     Built on cygwin Oct 18 2005 10:52:43

     $ md5sum /bin/lynx.exe
     8987cf5dcf28d6ffccd93c13386265f5 */bin/lynx.exe


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.

If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the
Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com".  I would appreciate
it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
