Awesome thanks, Corinna! :) If I did have changes for review, what does that process look like? I looked at the FAQ and didn't see anything RE: that. Would it be best to link to tar up and link to a patch (rebased against the live remote repo) in the mailing list? Thanks Brian -Original Me

Hi, After updating yesterday, mediainfo fails to run, the cause is a change in a library it uses which results in a 0xc139 error (LoadLibrary fails: First chance exception), and specifically: "The procedure entry point **fmodl** could not be located..." Rebuilding mediainfo fixed the issue.

On a Microsoft Surface running CYGWIN_NT-10.0 version 2.4.1(0.293/5/3) I cannot start Cygwin from the desktop shortcut. It fails to find mintty. On failure, it proffers a browsing window focused on /bin. Clicking on mintty in that window does not work. I can start Cygwin via a Windows "run" request
