The following *TEST* packages have been released in the Cygwin distribution:

* curl			7.86
* libcurl4		7.86
* libcurl-devel		7.86
* libcurl-doc		7.86
* mingw64-x86_64-curl	7.86
* mingw64-i686-curl	7.86

Command line tool and Library supporting transferring files with
URL syntax, using FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, and
FILE, SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form
based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic,
Digest, NTLM, Negotiate...), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and a
busload of other useful tricks.

For more information see the project home page:

	https://curl.se/

As there are multiple components and many changes each release please
see below or read /usr/share/doc/curl/RELEASE-NOTES after installation;
for complete details of changes since the previous Cygwin release see:

	/usr/share/doc/curl/CHANGES
or
	https://curl.se/changes.html


Please test these packages as extensively as possible (especially if you
are a Cygwin package maintainer) as libcurl is used in many libraries
and utilities.
Package maintainers should install this test release and rerun checks
of as many libraries and packages depending on libcurl as possible. 
Test releases of gsasl and libgsasl18 2.2 are available and the latter
is required for this release.

Checks of curl itself after installing these packages run with no issues.
I have it locally installed so it is getting used by commands, scripts,
cron jobs, and cygport builds, and has and is getting frequent exercise
with no apparent issues so far.
If no issues are reported within a couple of weeks the package will be
upgraded to current.
