The only change in this version of tar is that it should now deal correctly with listed-incremental backups. It was previously broken due to the increase in inode size manifested in cygwin 1.5.x. Unfortunately the size change means that the old data files stored by tar are no longer compatible with files from the new version. This will cause some unchanged files to be archived the first time the new tar is run. If none of the above makes any sense to you, you can safely ignore my mumblings. I suspect that very few cygwin users use gnu tar's incremental features. 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. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list (see http://cygwin.com/lists.html). *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
