Cygutils is a collection of useful(?) tools for the cygwin platform. This is a feature enhancement release.
[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This is the first release from the cygwin-1.7-specific development branch (cygutils-1.4.0 will no longer compile on legacy versions of cygwin; it requires functions noly added in the newer cygwin kernels). CHANGES (from cygutils-1.3.4-10) ================================ * Support in cygstart for unicode arguments/filenames (from IWAMURO Motonori). * First release from cygwin-1.7-specific branch. cygutils-1.4.0 and above require functions not present in cygwin-1.5 and earlier. Legacy systems should use the BRANCH_1_3_x branch tag. * All applications that have a --version option now report the package version number with uniform format. * All code reformatted to follow (mostly) GNU standards. TODO (call for patches): ================================ * Update lpr.cc and mkshortcut.c to use cygwin-1.7 cygwin_conv_path instead of deprecated cygwin_conv_to_win32_path. * Update (some?) utilities to handle unicode filenames, similar to IWAMURO Motonori's work on cygstart. Which utilities need this? mkshortcut and lpr, probably. Any others? -- Charles Wilson volunteer cygutils maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
