-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Cygwin Ports users,
If you've been following the Cygwin lists, you will already know that the goal is to release 1.7 before year-end. Cygwin 1.7 will add many new features that I hope will make it easier to port and run software. To that end, sometime in the near future (probably August or September), I am planning to switch to 1.7 pre-releases and being rebuilding all packages to benefit from the new features. At the same time, I hope to push more of Ports packages into the distro, with Ports remaining a testing ground for new things (e.g. KDE4) or for "extras" not in the distro, instead of being a partial replacement thereof. When I do switch, I will leave the existing repository available for 1.5 users for some time, depending on interest. In the meantime, those of you following CIA.vc know that I'm still working on 1.5 packages, including Qt4 and R 2.7. There will likely be an upload soon. I have no idea how many of you there are, so I would appreciate your input as to when you plan on migrating to 1.7. Of course, I will keep you posted when I decide on a transition date for myself.
