The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* cygutils-1.4.16-4
* cygutils-extra-1.4.16-4
* cygutils-x11-1.4.16-4

This release fixes a couple of issues reported in -3 and re-implements
getclip's capture of Unicode characters from the Windows clipboard using
a different method.  This was required because the original approach
would not work in 32-bit Cygwin operating on 64-bit Windows.

IF YOU USE GETCLIP TO CAPTURE NON-ASCII CHARACTERS FROM THE WINDOWS
CLIPBOARD, PLEASE TEST THIS NEWEST GETCLIP TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS FOR YOU.
Report any issues to the main Cygwin mailing list.

Excerpt from ChangeLog follows...
2021-08-15  Mark Geisert  <m...@maxrnd.com>  (1.4.16-4 release)

    * Makefile.am: Add -lkernel32 to src_clip_getclip_LDADD.  This somehow
    didn't make it into the released -3 package.  Thank you Takashi Yano.
    * Fix maintainer build environment issues that caused cygstart crash
    on non-AVX user systems: Thank you Takashi Yano, Brian Inglis, Achim
    Gratz and user Jay Abel for reporting the issue.
    * src/cygdrop/cygdrop.cc: Fix crash with recent gcc and fix printf
    format strings. Thank you Christian Franke.

2021-07-05  Mark Geisert  <m...@maxrnd.com>  (1.4.16-3 release)

    * src/clip/getclip.c: Add Unicode support.

In about two weeks time this package will be marked current unless bugs
are found during this test period.
More Happy Clipping,

..mark
