CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.1.1
1. UPDATED - OpenSSH 5.3p1
See http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.3 for release notes.
Highlights:
- Do not limit home directory paths to 256 characters.
- This release removes for support for very old versions of Cygwin and for Windows 95/98/ME

2. UPDATED - Cygwin 1.7.0-62
See http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg101490.html for release notes
Cygwin 1.7 is a major release with many changes and enhancements. See http://www.cygwin.com/#beta-test for a complete overview.
Highlights:
- Windows 95, 98 and Me are not supported anymore.
- Mount points are no longer stored in the registry.
- If a filename cannot be represented in the current character set, the character will be converted to a sequence Ctrl-X + UTF-8 representation of the character. This allows to access all files, even those not having a valid representation of their filename in the current character set (codepage). To always have a valid string, use the UTF-8 charset by setting the environment variable $LANG, $LC_ALL, or $LC_CTYPE to a valid POSIX value, for instance in Cygwin.bat like this:
set LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
- PATH_MAX is now 4096. Internally, path names can be as long as the underlying OS can handle (32K).
- Creating filenames with special DOS characters '"', '*', ':', '<', '>', '|' is supported.
- IPv6 support.
- Reworked pipe implementation.
- Support UTF-8 in console window.
- A lot of character sets are supported now via a call to setlocale().
- Cygwin now allows storage and use of user passwords in a hidden area of the registry. This is tried first when Cygwin is called by privileged processes to switch the user context. This allows, for instance, ssh public key sessions with full network credentials to access shares on other machines.
3. NEW TOOL - Nano text editor
