The timeline for 1.7 going stable is any day now. (late November, early December)
I am running a windows 7 box that I want to install the new 1.7 Ive used older versions of cygwin so I know what to expect as far as usage goes, but these questions weren't covered in the FAQ as far as I could tell. 1) I would like to install the "beta" but have a concern about needing to reinstall when 1.7 does go "stable". Is this concern bogus or is there some basis in reality for it? If all I have to do is run setup again, I can live with that, but if I have to download a new setup and "overwrite" the existing install, I might just wait it out. 2) Some of you may know of the program poderosa, which I have used in the past, poderosa is a tool that lets you open tabbed browsers and use ssh/telnet/and cygwin and has plugins that allow you to support null modem connections and zmodem up/downloads all at the same time. With my test install of windows 7 poderosa could not detect that cygwin was installed. I assume that this is caused by a registry entry that the old installer could not set. Is there any confirmation of this and if cygwin 1.7 fixes this?
