Updated: Git v2.4.5-2
Version 2.4.5-2 of Git has been uploaded and should be coming soon to a mirror near you. This update includes the following packages: - git - git-completion - git-cvs - git-debuginfo - git-email - git-gui - gitk - git-svn This update contains no upstream changes; it is a rebuild linked against the recently announced perl-5.22.0-1 as announced at https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00476.html Once the new Perl builds have been out a little while and appear to be stable, I will look at taking further upstream Git releases.
Updated: clisp-2.49-5.20150312hg15611
The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution: * clisp-2.49-5.20150312hg15611 * clisp-clx-2.49-5.20150312hg15611 (32-bit only) * clisp-gtk2-2.49-5.20150312hg15611 (32-bit only) This is a rebuild of the 2.49-4.20150312hg15611 packages, the main change being that the 64-bit build now uses libsigsegv, which was recently added to the 64-bit distribution. In addition, I have patched the sources so that clisp will not attempt to save an executable memory image on Cygwin; see https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-03/msg00188.html. For further information, see the announcement https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-03/msg00025.html. Ken Brown Cygwin's clisp maintainer
Updated: biber-2.1-1
The following package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution: * biber-2.1-1 Biber is a BibTeX replacement for users of BibLaTeX, with full Unicode support. This is an update to the latest upstream release. It is the first release of biber as a standalone package on 32-bit Cygwin. The main executable is /usr/bin/biber, which is a Perl script; in the 32-bit case it replaces /usr/bin/biber.exe, which used to be provided by the texlive-collection-bibtexextra package.

Updated: TeX Live 2015
Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream release, TeX Live 2015. TeX Live provides a comprehensive, cross-platform TeX system. It includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts that are free software, including support for many languages around the world. For more information, see http://www.tug.org/texlive/ The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the following Cygwin packages: * texlive-20150521-1 * libkpathsea6-20150521-1 * libkpathsea-devel-20150521-1 libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library. * libptexenc1-20150521-1 * libptexenc-devel-20150521-1 libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library. * libsync1-20150521-1 * libsync-devel-20150521-1 libsync is a TeX source/output synchronization library. * libtexlua52_5-20150521-1 * libtexlua52-devel-20150521-1 libtexlua52 is a TeX lua scripting library. * libtexluajit2-20150521-1 (x86 only) * libtexluajit-devel-20150521-1 (x86 only) libtexluajit is a TeX Just-In-Time lua compiler library. libsync, libtexlua52, and libtexluajit are new (as standalone libraries) with TeX Live 2015. * asymptote-2.35-1 Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. In addition, upstream TeX Live provides thousands of "packages", grouped into "collections". There is a Cygwin package for each upstream collection; there are also Cygwin packages containing documentation for some of the collections. * texlive-collection-basic-20150617-1 * texlive-collection-basic-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-bibtexextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-bibtexextra-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-binextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-binextra-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-context-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-context-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-fontsextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-fontsextra-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-fontsrecommended-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-fontsrecommended-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-fontutils-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-fontutils-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-formatsextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-games-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-genericextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-genericextra-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-genericrecommended-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-genericrecommended-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-htmlxml-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-humanities-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-humanities-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langafrican-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langarabic-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langchinese-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langcjk-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langcyrillic-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langczechslovak-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langenglish-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langeuropean-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langfrench-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langgerman-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langgreek-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langindic-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langitalian-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langjapanese-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langkorean-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langother-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langpolish-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langportuguese-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-langspanish-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-latex-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-latex-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-latexextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-latexextra-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-latexrecommended-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-latexrecommended-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-luatex-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-luatex-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-mathextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-mathextra-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-metapost-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-metapost-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-music-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-music-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-omega-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-pictures-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-pictures-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-plainextra-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-pstricks-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-pstricks-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-publishers-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-publishers-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-science-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-science-doc-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-xetex-20150521-1 * texlive-collection-xetex-doc-20150521-1 Recommendations === Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge and can take a long time to install. If you're not sure what you need, here are some possible ways to start: Minimal: Install texlive and its dependencies. This provides plain TeX but not LaTeX. Small: Install texlive-collection-latex and
Updated: perl-5.22.0-1 and all Perl distributions
Perl has been updated to the current upstream release version 5.22.0 for Cygwin on both architectures. This version (like all major version updates) is binary incompatible with XS modules and applications linked against the Perl DLL, these will have to be rebuilt using the new Perl. Due to the large version jump (from 5.14.4), there are lots of user-visible changes and deprecations. To learn about these, please consult: 5.22.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5220delta.html 5.20.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5200delta.html 5.18.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5180delta.html 5.16.0 http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5160delta.html The next Perl release 5.22.1 (a maintenance release) is expected somewhere in September at the moment. *** IMPORTANT *** Due to the large version jump (from 5.14.4), all Perl distributions and packages using Perl under the hood needed to be updated as well. Five packages still need to be updated for the new Perl: amanda, ming, pristine-tar, grepmail and sendxmpp. If you are using one of those pakcages, please wait with the Perl update until these have been updated as well. -- *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

Updated: maxima-5.36.0-3
This is the third build of a new upstream release due to an updated clisp executable. I'm promoting version 5.36.0 from test to currentat the same time. Maxima - Computer Algebra System Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, sets, lists, vectors, matrices and tensors. Maxima yields high precision numerical results by using exact fractions, arbitrary-precision integers and variable-precision floating-point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions. Maxima is written in CommonLisp and based on the DOE Macsyma that was developed at MIT. Packaging = The installation has been split into several packages: maxima- common components and documentation, execution on pre-compiled clisp (memory image) maxima-lang-* - localization for several languages maxima-xmaxima- a Tcl/Tk based GUI The maxima-exec-clisp package has been revoked due to problems with the way CLisp creates the executable. Loading a memory image instead has proved to make no difference in start-up time at least on a system with a fast disk, so no disadvantage should result for the user.
