- Subject: setup 2.891release candidate - please test
A new setup release candidate is available at:
https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.891.x86_64.exe (64 bit version)
https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.891.x86.exe (32 bit version)
Please test and report any problems here.
This is not the place for setup feature requests.
Changes compared to 2.889:
- 'Use HTTP/FTP Proxy' connection type now uses the WinINet API
As a consequence, the '--user-agent' option now affects this connection
type as well
- Remove the 'Direct(legacy)' connection type and associated cruft
There have been no reported problems with it's replacement, the 'Direct'
connection type, since it's introduction in 2.878
(See https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2017-05/msg00053.html)
If this is the currently configured connection type, it will be silently
migrated to 'Direct'
- Improve file:// URL handling
All well-formed file URLs should now work. Malformed file URLs we
previously accepted should also still work.
Thanks to SZAVAI Gyula for these changes.
- Various fixes for regressions in 'Install from Local Directory' mode
