A new version of Setup (2.923) has been uploaded to:
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe (64 bit version)
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe (32 bit version)
Changes compared to 2.919:
- Add perpetual support for preremove scripts (thanks to Christian Franke)
- Major update to libsolv (from 0.6.29 to 0.7.22). Fix a crash this causes.
- Allow packages to be marked as 'self-destruct'. (This is intended for
use in the rare cases where a package is obsolete, but has no direct
replacement.)
- Add new option '--no-write-registry', which inhibits recording the
installation root directory in the registry, which may be useful for
portable or temporary installs (thanks to Christian Franke)
- Add view modes "Removable" and "Unneeded" (thanks to Christian Franke)
-- "Removable" shows installed packages that were selected, but can now
be safely removed, as no installed package depends on them
-- "Unneeded" shows packages which were automatically installed, but can
now be safely removed, as no installed depends on them
- Add Ctrl-I/R/U as keyboard accelerators for
install/reinstall/uninstall in the package chooser (thanks to Christian
Franke)
- Restore the ability to run on Windows 5.1 (XP/Server 2003), in
conjunction with '--allow-unsupported-windows'
