Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user
interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode
support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is
largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server.
Mintty is based on code from PuTTY by Simon Tatham and team.

CHANGES
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
- Ctrl+slash now sends ^_ as in xterm.
- New --class command line option allows to change the name of
mintty's window class. That can make it easier to distinguish
different mintty windows in scripting tools like AutoHotKey.
- Dim mode is no longer limited to the 16 basic colours.
- Drop long path prefix ('\\?\') from Windows paths when opening files
or directories. Some programs couldn't deal with those properly.
- Bring the charset support into line with upcoming changes in Cygwin
1.7.2: use nl_langinfo(CODESET) instead of making assumptions about
locales without explicit charsets, and allow three-letter language
codes.
- The postinstall and preremove scripts should now work in non-admin setups.
