I'm close to releasing cygwin 1.3.11 but I need feedback on the current
state of cygwin.  So, please try a snapshot at:

  http://cygwin.com/snapshots/

To install a snapshot:

  1) Download the latest cygwin-20020???.dll.bz2 file from the above
     web page into a temporary directory.

  2) bunzip2 cygwin-20020???.dll.bz2

  3) copy c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll.saf

  4) copy cygwin-20020???.dll c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll

Obviously, you have to replace the 'c:\cygwin\bin' with the ms-dos path
name of your /bin directory.  You also *must* use Windows tools (e.g.,
"copy" or GUI "drag and drop") to copy the DLL to its new home since you
can't easily overwrite a busy DLL.

Reports of success or failure to the list, please.

AFAIK, there are still two things left to do prior to release 1) fix the
gettimeofday problem and 2) complete the review and possible
incorporation of some outstanding pthreads patches.

If there are other outstanding patches that need review please report
them here.
