   1 1.4.12
   2   * winln: new ln workalike that produces "native" windows
   3     shortcuts. Daniel Colascione.
   4   * Build fixes adapting to new w32api.
   5   * Bugfixes for lpr and readshortcut (already present in
   6     1.4.10-2 cygwin release).
   7
   8 1.4.10
   9   * getclip and putclip now support new cygwin-1.7.13+ clipboard format.
  10   * cygstart now supports file:// and mailto: URLs (Yaakov Selkowitz)
  11   * Added -R/--raw option to readshortcut (prevents expanding embedded
  12     environment variables within paths). Reported by Denis Excoffier.
  13   * mkshortcut and readshortcut now use cygwin-1.7 path conversion
  14     functions rather than deprecated ones. However, they make only
  15     minimal concessions to unicode, and operate mostly on narrow character
  16     encoded pathnames. They should now be able to handle "long" pathnames
  17     however.
  18
  19 1.4.8
  20   * Integrate cygstart with FD.o menu and mimetype system.
  21     (Yaakov Selkowitz)
  22   * Remove ascii utility; replaced by separate package derived
  23     from ESR's implementation http://catb.org/~esr/ascii/
  24   * Remove realpath utility; replaced by new implementation
  25     provided by coreutils (8.15 and above).
  26
  27 1.4.6
  28   * conv: no longer distribute as dos2unix, unix2dos, u2d, or d2u.
  29     Those programs now available from the separate dos2unix package.
  30   * ascii: by default, now only prints characters 0..127. Use new
  31     option --extended/-e for old behavior, printing characters 0..255.
  32     See this thread: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-04/msg00600.html
  33   * cygstart: Fix --reference. Allow relative paths (enables, e.g.
  34     'cygstart calc'). Reported by Ken Hirsch.

  53     from Joerg Schaible)

  57     reported even on success (Andy Koppe).
  58   * --help, --license, --usage, and --version output now goes
  59     to stdout instead of stderr

  63
  64 1.4.2
  65   Add hippo icon to cygicons.
  66   Fix mkshortcut bug.
  67

  69   Add --help option to lpr.
  70   Build system improvements.
  71   Add support for building on MinGW.
  72   Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)

  74
  75 1.4.0
  76   Add support to cygstart for filenames with UTF/wide chars.
  77   (IWAMURO Motonori).
  78
  79 ^^ Begin cygwin-1.7-specific development ^^
  80
  81 1.3.4
  82   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  83   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  84
  85 1.3.3
  86   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  87             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  88
  89 1.3.2
  90   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  91             original images were obtained from various (free
  92             as in speech) sources.
  93   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  94   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  95   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  96   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  97     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  98     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  99     non-w32 platforms.

 101 1.3.1
 102   cygstart: compatibility fixes for recent cygwin snapshots
 103   build machinery updated to latest autotools -- now passes distcheck

 137      Identify binary files by presence of '\0' and bail if --safe.
 138      Do not short circuit if first line ends in target style; keep
 139      going.  Collapse sequences of '\r' without '\n' to a single
 140      EOL of target style.  '--force' propagates '\0' from input to
 141      output.

 156   Bugfix for lpr

 197   license notice)
