Hi Kurt,

This mailing list is no deader than usual.

I've not done a rebase of Cygnal for a while; maybe it's due?

Do you have any specific issues that need an upgrade? Even if something is broken, but fixed in a newer Cygwin, if your application isn't stepping on it, it might not be urgent.

To rebase Cygnal, I fetch the latest git and then rebase all the Cygnal patches, resolving any conflicts.

Then I have to remember how to build the thing. One of these days I will write it down.

By the way, the Cygwin project is really terrible in terms of supporting old versions (or even just making them available).

There is is a project/site called "Cygwin Time Machine" which helps with this:

Here you can find old releases.

Hello,

I'm not quite sure if this mailing list is active - all the web links to it seem to be broken.  I'm curious if there are compiled binaries for versions of Cygwin newer than v3.2 or if any are planned?

Thanks,
