[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: cygwin-1.5.6-1

Mon Jan 19 17:42:00 GMT 2004

I followed the installation instructions here, but the
cygwin1.dll file does not update. Just the packages
are updated. The date on cygwin1.dll is 2003年09月20日,
obviously not the newest.
Is there something else I need to do to make sure the
dll gets updated?
Thanks.
