   2   * conv: no longer distribute as dos2unix, unix2dos, u2d, or d2u.
   3     Those programs now available from the separate dos2unix package.
   4   * ascii: by default, now only prints characters 0..127. Use new
   5     option --extended/-e for old behavior, printing characters 0..255.
   6     See this thread: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-04/msg00600.html
   7   * cygstart: Fix --reference. Allow relative paths (enables, e.g.
   8     'cygstart calc'). Reported by Ken Hirsch.

  37
  38 1.4.2
  39   Add hippo icon to cygicons.
  40   Fix mkshortcut bug.
  41
  42 1.4.1
  43   Add --help option to lpr.
  44   Build system improvements.
  45   Add support for building on MinGW.
  46   Add new cygdrop utility (Christian Franke; requires w2k or better)
  47   Many of the utilities have been relicensed as GPLv3+.
  48
  49 1.4.0
  50   Add support to cygstart for filenames with UTF/wide chars.
  51   (IWAMURO Motonori).
  52
  53 ^^ Begin cygwin-1.7-specific development ^^
  54
  55 1.3.4
  56   Fix installation bug, exposed by new libtool's modified
  57   behavior (reported by Jerry Hedden and David Rothenberger)
  58
  59 1.3.3
  60   cygstart: Add new -w/--wait option (Barry Kelly)
  61             Propagate exit status of child process when -w (Alex Smith)
  62
  63 1.3.2
  64   cygicons: a new DLL that provides cygwin-related icons
  65             original images were obtained from various (free
  66             as in speech) sources.
  67   Now installs documentation into $(prefix)/share/doc/cygutils
  68   Also installs per-component documentation in $(docdir)/component/
  69   No longer link apps to libpopt if they don't need it.
  70   Needs libtool for building cygicons, but side effect is to use
  71     libtool throughout.  cygicons requires libtool to be configured
  72     with RC support (e.g. windres). This may break building on
  73     non-w32 platforms.
  74
  75 1.3.1
  76   cygstart: compatibility fixes for recent cygwin snapshots
  77   build machinery updated to latest autotools -- now passes distcheck

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

 130   Bugfix for lpr
