This is a Cygwin specific update. The only difference between this version and 4.6.0-1 is that the subshell support is disabled by default now. Recent posts to the Cygwin mailing list indicate that there is a problem in the subshell support, which causes the subshell to stay in memory when MC terminates. It is recommended that users uprgade to mc-4.6.0-2 until the matter is resolved. NOTE: Subshell support is still compiled in, but to use it one has to pass the -U option to mc. Obviosly this will trigger the problem described above, so use on your own risk. Pavel Tsekov Midnight Commander maintainer for Cygwin INSTALLATION: 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 'mc' from the 'Utils' category. 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. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already updated. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.
