) Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated [experimental]: bash-3.1-8
) 
) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
) Hash: SHA1
) 
) A new release of bash, 3.1-8, is available for experimental use.
) 
) NEWS:
) =====
) This version is similar to the experimental 3.1-7, except 
) that it fixes the regression of scripts with \r\n line 
) endings on text mounts.  By removing several outdated #ifdefs 
) that were once necessary in bash for older versions of 
) cygwin, bash is now faster and more like Linux when operating 
) on binary mounts.  In particular, if your script uses \n line 
) endings, bash will read a buffer at a time instead of a byte 
) a time, for much less disk traffic.  A script on a binary 
) mount that uses \r\n line endings will probably encounter 
) syntax errors or odd variable assignments, because the \r is 
) treated literally.  If this happens to you, use d2u to fix 
) the line endings, or change your script to live in a text mount point.
)  A script that resides on a text mount can have either line 
) ending (even inconsistently mixed), but be aware that text 
) mount points are slower, due to \r\n filtering.  Because of 
) this change in behavior from the current
) 3.1-6 for scripts in binary mounts, I am marking this version 
) experimental for a while until I can gauge from mailing list 
) traffic that it is safe to promote to current.
) 
) Remember, you must not have any bash or /bin/sh instances 
) running when you upgrade the bash package.  This release will 
) work with cygwin-1.5.21-1 or later.
) 
) DESCRIPTION:
) ============
) Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful 
) features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh).  It is 
) intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 
) Shell and Tools standard.  It offers functional improvements 
) over sh for both programming and interactive use. In 
) addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
) 
) As of the bash 3.0 series, cygwin /bin/sh defaults to bash, 
) not ash, similar to Linux distributions.
) 
) UPDATE:
) =======
) 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.
) Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 
) 'bash' in the 'Base' category (it should already be 
) selected).  Since this is an experimental release, you will 
) have to use the 'Exp' radio button.
) 
) DOWNLOAD:
) =========
) Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) 
) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that 
) you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please 
) choose the one nearest to you:
) http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html
) 
) QUESTIONS:
) ==========
) If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin 
) mailing list is the appropriate place.
