A new version of Setup (2.917) has been uploaded to:
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe (64 bit version)
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe (32 bit version)
Changes compared to 2.915:
- Show a warning if running on a deprecated Windows version
Support for:
- Windows 6.0 (Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008)
- 32-bit Windows (including WoW64)
in Cygwin is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version,
sometime this year.
This warning can be disabled with the '--no-warn-deprecated-windows' or
'-w' option, or using a "In the future, do not show me this dialogue
box" checkbox.
- Fix setup silently exiting if elevated and 'CYGWIN=winsymlinks:lnk' is
in the environment (by ignoring that environment variable)
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-January/250523.html
- Fix creating bogus versions of obsoleted packages (under certain
specific circumstances), which then fail to download because they don't
exist!
