Subject:	Updated: libiconv-1.8-3, libiconv2-1.8-3, libcharset1-1.8-3

The GNU libiconv package provides an iconv() implementation, for use on 
systems which don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert 
from/to Unicode.

o libiconv consists of three separate packages:
   - 'libiconv2' contains the main DLL, cygiconv-2.dll
   - 'libcharset1' contains an additional but separate DLL,
     cygcharset-1.dll
   - 'libiconv' contains everything else (and depends on the other two
     packages)
o libiconv is used by (and uses) the gettext package

CHANGES (from 1.8-2)
o no significant changes; simply recompiled against cygwin-1.3.22
   so as to pick up the new #definition of EILSEQ.  The old
   misdefinition was causing problems when building dependent packages
   (especially clisp)

INSTALLATION:

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to
your system.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up 'gettext' from the 'Libs' category.  You may need to
click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up.  You might want to
make sure you update/install ALL of the following three packages:
    libiconv-1.8-3
    libiconv2-1.8-3
    libcharset1-1.8-3

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.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already
updated.

In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

Please  send questions or comments to the Cygwin mailing list at:

http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use
this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing
list is the appropriate place.
