Version 4.53 is the stable release of the 4.5X series. This is the first release for Cygwin in this series. Here's a quick summary of what's new in it. Further details can be found from the main screen of Pine by pressing "R" (to see the Release Notes) or by going to http://www.washington.edu/pine/changes.html * Extended thread support (fancy thread interface). * Rudimentary support of character set conversion. * Extended filter/roles functionality. * Cygwin port is official. This means that no more patches are needed to build a version of Pine suitable for cygwin. All you need to do is to unpack the source code and execute the command "./buildcyg cyg" from the pineX.YZ directory (You still need a patch to be able to "fix" some bugs found while running Pine with colors in the default cygwin terminal. This patch is already applied in this release). As usual, more documentation on how to run Pine under cygwin can be found in the file /usr/doc/Cygwin/pine-4.53-1.README. If you find any problem running this package, please report it to the cygwin mailing list (cygwin AT cygwin DOT com). *** INFORMATION ON UPDATING CYGWIN *** 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. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Germany, ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/ is usually pretty good. In the UK, http://programming.ccp14.ac.uk/ftp-mirror/programming/cygwin/pub/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date within 48 hours. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package then you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your system and will install newer packages automatically. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com . This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. *** 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.
