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

  33   cygstart: compatibility fixes for recent cygwin snapshots
  34   build machinery updated to latest autotools -- now passes distcheck

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

 128   license notice)
