The mingw-zlib package has been updated to version 1.2.3-10. zlib is a standard lossless compression library; mingw-zlib is a version built using the standard windows runtime library and NOT cygwin; it is used by setup.exe among other tools. This is a packaging update.
[[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-3/-mno-cygwin ]] This is the first release specific for cygwin-1.7. Technically, since this is a "mingw" package, there's nothing cygwin-1.5 or cygwin-1.7-specific about it, except for the packaging tool used and the layout of documentation. Therefore, the only differences between this package and the simultaneously-released mingw-zlib-1.2.3-3 for cygwin-1.5 are documentation related (the README references cygport-0.9.4 and cygwin-1.7.0-41, and the /usr/share/doc/ layout is influenced by the cygport changes between 0.4.x and 0.9.x). CHANGES since 1.2.3-2 ======================== o Fork for cygwin-1.7 development o Split into separate packages. This is really just to keep mingw-zlib and zlib in sync, and make future maintainence a little easier. -- Charles Wilson volunteer zlib maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
