[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Cygwin 1.7.30-1

Sun May 25 22:37:00 GMT 2014

Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.30-1. This is a bugfix release.
Please note that despite recent discussions about the new passwd/group
handling being in 1.7.30, it's not. The changes are still work in
progress, so we decided to release 1.7.30 as an intermediate bugfix
release.
Bug Fixes:
----------
- Only handle the minimum amount of exceptions required in internal Cygwin
 SEGV handling.

 under a Perforce SCCS managed directory.

To install 32-bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
To install 64 bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
The 64 bit Cygwin distribution doesn't yet come with as many packages
as the 32 bit version, but more packages will be available over time.
If you're already running a 32 bit version of Cygwin on 64 bit Windows
machines, you can continue to do so. If you're planning a new install
of Cygwin on a 64 bit Windows machine, consider to use the new 64 bit
Cygwin version, unless you need certain packages not yet available in
the 64 bit release.
Have fun,
Corinna
