This new version has several key features. 1) A new view exists - categories - that will show packages in categories. 2) All dependencies of a package are automatically installed when installing a package. I.e. if you install gcc, binutils is automatically installed. 3) The local cache directory is remembered from run to run. 4) New packages are not automatically installed. Only packages in the "base" category, and packages which you already have installed on your system will get installed. The setup.ini to drive this is already present on all the mirror sites. To update your setup.exe, just click on "Install Cygwin Now" on the cygwin.com home page. Bug reports and general discussion to cygwin@cygwin.com or cygwin-apps@cygwin.com. Thank you very much to the contributors that helped this happen.
