One slight issue is with the UI: the selection box for the version is hiding part of the version string even when the window is wide enough to accommodate it fully while the column to the left is larger than it would need to be. I have no idea how difficult that'd be to fix. I've adjusted the sizing of the 'new' column so it allows for the width of the drop-down button as well as the version.

Noted an inconsistency in the action drop menu. It proposes the available test version also when the test box is not checked. Just noted on binutils 2.31.1-1 I think it should not report it, or highlight the "test" status Test versions are always selectable in the package chooser at the moment. I've added an indication that it's a test version, as that seems like a very good idea, though.

I must have looked cross-eyed or something. "Size" isn't the rightmost field, and in the default "Pending" view with *my* default dialog size, the "Size" field is just a tiny tick too far to the right. Pure coincidence, nothing to worry about.

That's what I like about the 90's, it looks really awesome. The pulldown menu to change the version needs some getting used to, but it's worthwhile. I just have a style nit: The (by default) rightmost field, "Size", is so much to the right that the rightmost characters collide with the Window frame. Looks like only the "Size" field is affected by way of being right-justified. Would it perhaps make sense to append just a single space at the end of the field (including the header) so the spacing looks more relaxed? Thanks a lot for this change. I'm pretty sure especially visually impaired users will be most happy with this change.

There's one small but occasionally bothersome long-standing issue; may I ask for enhancement on this occasion: If I click through the dialog quickly by consecutive Enter and hit one Enter too many, setup will be on one of the two download pages before I notice and will abort because initially only the "Cancel" button is activated as interactive default button. This could easily be prevented by not ever making "Cancel" the default, even when it is the only enabled button. Thanks for considering Thomas

A new setup release candidate is available at: https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.894.x86_64.exe (64 bit version) https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.894.x86.exe(32 bit version) Please test and report any problems here. Changes compared to 2.893: - Drag setup into the 1990s, by replacing the custom-drawn package chooser with a ListView common control. -- Use standard UI elements to choose an action to take on a package or category, rather than the weird UX of clicking to cycle around a list of options of undisclosed length. -- Behaviour change: previously, a category action only affected packages which matched any name search filter applied. Now all packages contained by the category are affected. -- Category view now shows a count of packages in a category -- Add long description as a tooltip for description - Add support for ZStandard compression for packages and .ini files - Fix a new warning reported by gcc 8 - Avoid a potential crash when checking for cached packages Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-10/msg00033.html - Use pkgconfig for build prerequisite checking - Fix log spam when package vendor is something other than "cygwin" - Various cleanups Thanks to Ken Brown and Achim Gratz.
