Thanks for your suggestions, feedback on them in-line. > 1) Include the current version number of setup.exe on the front page. > Otherwise, there is no way for the infrequent visitor to the > website to > know if setup.exe has been updated other than to re-download > and run it. Setup.exe will warn you if it is out of date - the online data includes the current version of setup.exe in the ini file. Having the version number on the website is thus redudant. > 2) Include in the FAQ (or somewhere) a section on "How to > Safely Update the > Cygwin dll". Probably just "shut down all cygwin apps, > including daemons", > but it would be useful to know for sure. The next release of setup.exe automatically address's this and will replace in-use .dll's. > 3) Include or link those instructions in announcements of new > Cygwin dll > releases. > > Do these make sense? They do, but as you can see we already have in place other measures to address the same issues.
