nasm-0.98.37-1 and nasm-0.98.37-2 have been uploaded to sourceware.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
=======================
Many many developers all over the net respect NASM for what it is
- a widespread (thus netwide), portable (thus netwide!), very
flexible and mature assembler tool with support for many output
formats (thus netwide!!).
RELEASE NOTES:
==============
Upstream news from the CHANGES file:
------------------------------------
* Paths given in "-I" switch searched for "incbin"ed as
well as "%include"ed files.
* Added stabs debugging for the ELF output format, patch from
Martin Wawro.
* Fix output/outbin.c to allow origin > 80000000h.
* Make -U switch work.
* Fix the use of relative offsets with explicit prefixes, e.g. "a32 loop
foo".
* Remove "backslash()".
* Fix the SMSW and SLDT instructions.
* -O2 and -O3 are no longer aliases for -O5 and -O10. If you mean the
latter, please say so! :)
Setup.exe:
----------
nasm is in the category 'Devel'. New versions will remove older versions.
nasm-0.98.37-2 is built for cygwin-1.5.2 and is marked test accordingly.
It *WILL NOT WORK* under cygwin-1.3.22.
Other notes:
------------
Please be aware the upstream ChangeLog is no longer maintained.
nasm output will retain binary compatibility with previous versions, and
the output should be unaffected between nasm-0.98.37-1 and nasm-0.98.37-2.
The Portable Document Format and PostScript versions of the documentation
are no longer distributed in the binary package, although they can be
built with the source package. The text and HTML versions of the
documentation are still available in /usr/doc/nasm-0.98.37
As always, you should conduct an appropriate level of testing before using
any new product in your production environment.

DOWNLOAD:
---------
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update.
These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have the
latest version of this package fairly soon:
In Australia,
ftp://planetmirror.com/pub/cygwin/
offers a reliable high bandwidth connection.
