A new setup release candidate is available at:

  https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.927.x86_64.exe (64 bit version)
  https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.927.x86.exe    (32 bit version)

Please test, and report any problems here.

Changes compared to 2.926:

- Added Ctrl+K accelerator for keep or skip in package chooser (thanks 
to Christian Franke)

- Fix extracting large files (>2 GiB) from packages (thanks to Achim Gratz)
   Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-October/254562.html

- Enhance 'quiet' mode to allow window to be input-disabled or hidden

'-q'/'--quiet-mode' now accepts an optional parameter specifying how the 
setup wizard behaves: 'unattended' is the existing behaviour, 'noinput' 
also disables mouse and keyboard interaction with the wizard, and 
'hidden' hides the wizard.

- Translation updates.

- Add German and Polish translations (thanks to weblate contributors 
Markus, Ettore Atalan, Luis Mengel and WaldiS)

Some small adjustments have been made to the layout of the dialog 
templates to accommodate places where the translation is longer.  Please 
report it if there are any spots I've missed where the text overflows 
the space available.
