This is a security update. It fixes a buffer overflow problem which allows to execute arbitrary code when visiting malicious web sites (CAN-2005-3120). Since the new version has no official new name, you can differ the old and new version by their build date or by their md5sum: Old: $ lynx --version Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.2 (22 Apr 2004) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a Built on cygwin Jul 6 2005 11:15:49 $ md5sum /bin/lynx.exe 6ba22c808c76ec9a00792cbfccc62a29 */bin/lynx.exe New: $ lynx --version Lynx Version 2.8.5rel.2 (22 Apr 2004) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 0.9.8a Built on cygwin Oct 18 2005 10:52:43 $ md5sum /bin/lynx.exe 8987cf5dcf28d6ffccd93c13386265f5 */bin/lynx.exe To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
