   5 ^^ Begin cygwin-1.7-specific development ^^

   7 1.3.4
   8   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
   9   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  10
  11 1.3.3
  12   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  13             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  14
  15 1.3.2
  16   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  17             original images were obtained from various (free
  18             as in speech) sources.
  19   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  20   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  21   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  22   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  23     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  24     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  25     non-w32 platforms.

  60 1.2.6
  61   Remove readlink (now provided by coreutils-5.3.0+)
  62   conv/d2u/u2d:  add --force/--safe options (defaults to safe).
  63      Identify binary files by presence of '\0' and bail if --safe.
  64      Do not short circuit if first line ends in target style; keep
  65      going.  Collapse sequences of '\r' without '\n' to a single
  66      EOL of target style.  '--force' propagates '\0' from input to
  67      output.
