The latest MSYS runtime, version 1.0.16, is now available. Besides fixing a few bugs, there are some new features: * Add --mintty option to msys.bat, for using mintty as the MSYS terminal (the MSYS port of mintty must already be installed for this to work). * Support path conversion of @file arguments. The full release notes are available at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysCORE-1.0.16-1-msys-1.0.16.RELEASE_NOTES.txt?download Fresh installations with the mingw-get-inst installer should get this latest release by using the "Download latest repositories" option and selecting the "MSYS Basic System". To upgrade (*) an existing installation, be sure to close all MSYS tools, then use mingw-get: mingw-get update # this downloads the new manifests mingw-get install msys-core-ext (*) As of mingw-get-0.1-alpha4, "upgrading", which should *remove* the currently-installed version and then download and install the new version, skips that first step. It simply installs the new version "on top of" the old one. This is probably acceptable for most people; the fastidious can manually delete /usr/share/doc/MSYS/msysCORE-$OLD.RELEASE_NOTES.txt Regards, Cesar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev
