Corinna , thank you for the heads up regarding subsequent updates wrt Window
7.

Would it be possible to create a short "how-to" for installing the most
recently "known-to-work-with-Windows-7" version of Cygwin (presuming that
old versions remain accessible indefinitely...).  Alternately, how one can
download a repository now that is compatible with Windows 7 and useable for
installing Cygwin in anticipation of the upcoming loss of support.

I have old machines that cannot be updated to Windows 10 (hybrid graphics
hardware) that I use for background activities that I may someday need to
rebuild.

Thank you very much for all your efforts.

Michel

Subject: [HEADSUP] Phasing out old Windows versions and 32 bit support

Hi folks,


The upcoming version 3.3.0 is the last version officially supporting
Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

The next major release 3.4.0 will be released in 2022 and will be the
last one officially supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008
R2, and Windows Server 2012.

We're also planning to drop Support for the 32 bit release of Cygwin in
2022, thus Cygwin 3.4.0 won't come in 32 bit anymore, and the package
maintainers won't have to update 32 bit packages anymore.  If you're
still running Cygwin under WOW64, consider to move to 64 bit in the next
couple of months.


Corinna
