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?
