Yes, it's time for 1.5.4-1


We've amassed an impressive list of fixes and improvements since 1.5.3
and I actually at least one of the changes here to build gcc 3.3.1.

So, please improve the text below.  I suspect that the usual suspects,
Pierre and Corinna, need to add some more words.  I know for a fact that
Corinna needs to fill in my memory block below.

I hope to release 1.5.4 over the weekend.

Oh, and it won't have my signal revamp in it.  I'm not that brave.

I've made a new version of the Cygwin DLL and associated utilities
available for download.  As usual, a list of what has changed is below.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin@cygwin.com .
