The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* cygwin-3.4.1-1
* cygwin-devel-3.4.1-1
* cygwin-doc-3.4.1-1

This is a bugfix release.

- Fix a backward incompatibility problem in the definition of the
  base type of the stdio type FILE.  This requires that C++ binaries
  compiled under Cygwin 3.4.0 having a public facing interface using
  FILE need to be recompiled.
  Addresses: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?63480

- Fix an error introduced into the build process, resulting in `gcc -pg'
  becoming disfunctional.

- Fix performance degradation of non-cygwin pipe.
