Depends on what you mean.  The setup.exe contained within each
cygwin-inst-yyyymmdd tarball is (of course) up-to-date with the
indicated yyyymmdd. 

However, the setup.exe distributed directly from the
http://www.cygwin.com/ webpage is not updated very often.  Last time I
checked (about a week ago) it was still v2.29 (e.g. 1.1.8-1 timeframe). 
Current cvs setup.exe reports approx. 2.45 or so.  I think cgf is still
waiting for feedback on the .bz2 stuff he recently added before updating
the setup.exe on the webpage.
