Subject: Updated: jbigkit-1.4-1
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The jbigkit package has been updated to version 1.4-1.  JBIG is a
lossless, bilevel image compression format with better compression than
TIFF-LZW (for bilevel images), and is patent-unencumbered. It is an
'official' standard image format -- ITU-T Recommendation T.82. (The
JBIG group is a sister organization to the more familiar JPEG group;
see http://www.jbig.org/)

CHANGES (from jbigkit-1.2-6):
    1. Update to 1.4 source
      - typo fixed in stripe number calculation, which caused
        encoder and decoder to fail on certain image sizes
        (special thanks to Koen Denecker for locating this one)
      - bugs fixed in jbg_split_planes(), jbg_dec_merge_planes()
        that caused a failure for more than eight planes per pixel
      - example converters now can handle PGM files with up to
        32 bits per pixel

INSTALLATION:

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.  You must choose a mirror,
because direct downloads from cygwin.com are no longer allowed.  The
following sites should soon have the latest version:

ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ (US)
ftp://linux.sarang.net/mirror/development/compiler/cygwin/ (Korea)
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin (UK)

The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your
system and should install the jbigkit package automatically.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin AT sources DOT redhat DOT com .  I would appreciate if you
would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This
includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
