The Midnight Commander visual shell has been updated to version 4.6.0-1. This is major upgrade and the result of more then one and a half year of bugfixing and code cleanup.
You can find the official announcement here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2003-February/msg00043.html Full list of changes since version 4.5.55 can be found here: http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/mc/NEWS Please, consider reading the file /usr/doc/Cygwin/mc-4.6.0.README after the installation/upgrade is finished. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Cygwin package includes two patches, which are not present in the official 4.6.0 release. * A patch to open the source and destination files in binary mode when copying/moving files. This patch, in its current form, is unlikely to be accepted by the MC developers, but it is good enough for the Cygwin package. * A patch to dynamically load libX11 if it is present and the DISPLAY variable is set. This patch was accepted by the MC developers after the release of MC 4.6.0. Pavel Tsekov Midnight Commander maintainer for Cygwin INSTALLATION: To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'mc' from the 'Utils' category. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is already updated. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.
