   3   Build system improvements.
   4   Add support for building on MinGW.
   5   Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)

   9   (IWAMURO Motonori).

  13 1.3.4
  14   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  15   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  16
  17 1.3.3
  18   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  19             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)

  21 1.3.2
  22   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  23             original images were obtained from various (free
  24             as in speech) sources.
  25   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  26   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  27   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  28   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  29     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  30     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  31     non-w32 platforms.

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