changes have been made since 21.1.2-2:
* Rework display number locking to avoid left-over socket files

Forgive me if this is a FAQ (I tried searching), but is there a standard
timeframe in between when a package update is announced on the list and
when it's actually available on the mirrors?
I tried every https mirror, but none of them have the new versions. I've
been having trouble with the X server and xwin-xdg-menu failing to start
up properly (in a semi-non-repeatable way), so I was hoping to get this
update now.
I tried upgrading setup-x86_64.exe to 2.915, in case some fix was needed
to get the new packages to show up, but like the last several versions
of the setup programs (2.909 is the last one I remember working), it
doesn't work on my Windows 8.1 system (with all available MS updates).
Running the installer from Explorer results in nothing happening
whatsoever.
Running setup from bash as Administrator results in:
Starting cygwin install, version 2.915
User has backup/restore rights
User has symlink creation right
*** --symlink-type lnk is not implemented
I've had my CYGWIN environment variable set to "wincmdln
winsymlinks:lnk" for ages, and it's always worked before. I /highly/
prefer the lnk implementation of symlinks, since it allows me to make
them from non-Admin shells, etc.
