  19 1.4.2
  20   Add hippo icon to cygicons.
  21   Fix mkshortcut bug.
  22
  23 1.4.1
  24   Add --help option to lpr.
  25   Build system improvements.
  26   Add support for building on MinGW.
  27   Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)
  28   Many of the utilities have been relicensed as GPLv3+.
  29

  31   Add support to cygstart for filenames with UTF/wide chars.
  32   (IWAMURO Motonori).
  33
  34 ^^ Begin cygwin-1.7-specific development ^^
  35
  36 1.3.4
  37   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  38   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  39
  40 1.3.3
  41   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  42             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  43
  44 1.3.2
  45   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  46             original images were obtained from various (free
  47             as in speech) sources.
  48   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  49   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  50   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  51   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  52     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  53     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  54     non-w32 platforms.
  55

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

  91   conv/d2u/u2d:  add --force/--safe options (defaults to safe).
  92      Identify binary files by presence of '\0' and bail if --safe.
  93      Do not short circuit if first line ends in target style; keep
  94      going.  Collapse sequences of '\r' without '\n' to a single
  95      EOL of target style.  '--force' propagates '\0' from input to
  96      output.
