Check the git logs linked from the https://cygwin.com/snapshots/ page:

	https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=shortlog
	https://sourceware.org/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=log

and the patches mailing list archive:

	https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/current/threads.html

and you will see there is current activity which may be settled by the next
release 3.1.5.
