I've made a new version of the Cygwin DLL and associated utilities available for download. As usual, a list of what has changed is below.
One special note is called for in this release -- Corinna Vinschen and Pierre Humblet have spent a lot of time on performance in this release and it shows. In running the test suites prior to releasing this, I was really struck by how much snappier cygwin 1.5.10 felt when compared to 1.5.9. So, hats off to Corinna and Pierre. Oh, and as long as I'm talking about special notes, it is obvious that sound handling is *much* improved in this release thanks to Gerd Spalink. At the very least, the sound parts of the test suite twice caused me to jump out of my chair when running them. That's got to be worth something.
