The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* dash	0.5.12-5

This test release has been rebuilt re-enabling libc fnmatch and glob as
Cygwin/winsup now supports locale dependent named character and
equivalence class patterns like glibc in Cygwin versions >= 3.5.0-0.
Install this test package only if you are running Cygwin snapshots or
test packages newer than 3.5.0-0 as it is an install condition, so
*should* not be installable until next stable release or newer.
If no issues are reported the package will be upgraded to current when
the Cygwin current stable release is upgraded to >= 3.5.0-0.

Add /bin/dash-VER-R link, plus version and date stamp on man page, as no
shell version info or query is available.

Thanks to Andrey Repin for testing and bringing this to our attention,
Harald van Dijk on the dash list for pointing out the commit
responsible, and Corinna Vinschen for adding support for locale
dependent named character class, equivalence class, and collating symbol
patterns to the Cygwin libc fnmatch and glob functions.

Please test this Base category shell as extensively as possible
(especially if you are a Cygwin package maintainer) as this
package is used in all installations.
I have it locally installed as my /bin/sh so it is used by most scripts,
cron jobs, and cygport builds, so it has and is getting frequent
exercise with no apparent issues so far.

DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be
as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where
possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU
Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.
