[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: mintty-0.5.6-1

[Andy Koppe <andy dot koppe at gmail dot com>]

Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user
interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode
support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is
largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server.
Mintty is based on code from PuTTY by Simon Tatham and team.

CHANGES
=======
- Fixed handling of right Alt key on US keyboards, which was broken in
0.5.5.
- Changed the dim text attribute implementation to blend foreground
and background colour, but only when the "Show bold as bright" option
is off. This yields better results with black-on-white colour schemes.
- Added support for decimal colour values in colour setting sequences,
e.g. '\e]10;255,255,0\a'.
- When Ctrl is pressed together with a digit or symbol key, check
whether Shift+key yields a character corresponding to a control char
(after first trying the plain char followed by AltGr+key). For
example, Ctrl+6 on a US keyboard will now send ^^ (0x1E), because
Shift+6 is ^. This is for compatibility with the console.
