Updated: Cygwin 1.7.30-1


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.

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
