  msys-diffutils-bin
  msys-findutils-bin
  msys-gawk-bin
  msys-grep-bin

License:
  Cygwin (see /share/doc/MSYS/CYGWIN_LICENSE)

Language:
  C, C++

========================================================================

Build instructions:
1) unpack msysCORE-1.0.19-1-msys-1.0.19-src.tar.xz
2) Install the build requirements:
  ./msysrlsbld -e build_dep
  (requires mingw-get in PATH)
3) Create an empty build directory and type: 
   <path-to-source>/msysrlsbld

See <path-to-source>/msysrlsbld -h for further options.

This will create:

  msysCORE-1.0.19-1-msys-1.0.19-bin.tar.xz
    MSYS runtime DLL plus basic support files

  msysCORE-1.0.19-1-msys-1.0.19-ext.tar.xz
    A few support scripts dependent on other MSYS components.

  msysCORE-1.0.19-1-msys-1.0.19-dev.tar.xz
    Development files for the MSYS runtime.

  msysCORE-1.0.19-1-msys-1.0.19-doc.tar.xz
    MSYS documentation.

    Debug information:
    * msys-1.0-debug.dll - Debug version of the MSYS runtime.
    * strace.exe - System call tracer for use with the above.
    * msys-1.0.dll.dbg - Symbolic information for decoding stack dumps.

========================================================================

----------  msysCORE-1.0.19-1 -- 2016 Jul 13 -----------
* Fix a buffer overflow vulnerability in execvp (issue #2269).
* Correct a bug with pipe handling that affected parallel make
  (issue #1950).
* Avoid loading some system DLLs, potentially improving process startup
  time. (issue #1823).
* Generate /etc/fstab automatically in postinstall (issue #2008):
  1) /etc/fstab.sample is delivered with the package, but adjusted at
  installation time, to reflect actual installation choice for /mingw mount
  point association.
  2) /etc/fstab is created if necessary, with the correct mapping of the
  /mingw mount point.
* Package compression format changed from lzma to xz.

----------  msysCORE-1.0.18-1 -- 2012 Nov 21 -----------
* Enable quoting of globbing characters on the command-line of native
  applications (bug #3482704).
* In case of an absent /etc directory, keep on trying to monitor the root
  directory for its creation instead of silently failing (bug #3302830).
* Fix getpwnam to return NULL for unknown user names, and be more robust
  when HOME is not set (bug #3415129).
* Import Cygwin 1.3.4 and port modern wincap functionality.
* Convert msys.bat line endings back to CRLF. (bug #2854155)

----------  msysCORE-1.0.17-1 -- 2011 Apr 19 -----------
* Allow to override the error mode for Windows exceptions like GPF.

----------  msysCORE-1.0.16-1 -- 2010 Sep 28 -----------
* Fix a race condition when determining if a pid is valid
  just after creating the process (bug #3042292)
* Support path conversion of @file arguments.
* Be more robust when dealing with ambiguous paths and mount points
  (eg. /usr/tmp vs. /tmp, when /usr == /). Fixes bug #3059626.
* Add --mintty option to msys.bat, for using mintty as the MSYS
  terminal (mintty must be already installed for this to work).

----------  msysCORE-1.0.15-1 -- 2010 Jul 06 -----------
* Add declarations of fchdir and getdomainname to sys/unistd.h
* Add declarations of rcmd, rexec, and rresvport to netdb.h
* Correct bug involving double evaluations of pseudo-relocations
  after fork().  Affected MSYS applications must be recompiled to
  take advantage of this fix.
* Add --replace option to mount and umount scripts
* Split -bin component into -bin, -ext, -doc and -lic.
* Removed a dependency of strace on the native GCC shared runtimes.
* Moved the MSYS DLL base to 0x60800000, to hopefully minimize the need
  to rebase it so often.
* Simplified the bin/cmd script

----------  msysCORE-1.0.14-1 -- 2010 Mar 17 -----------
* Fix path translation in presence of components with dots.
Example: /mingw/example.dot/../include
-> c:/mingw/example.dot/../include

----------  msysCORE-1.0.13-2 -- 2010 Jan 27 -----------
* Recompile at -O3 +:
    -fno-unit-at-a-time
  to avoid compiler optimization bug at -O3 and -O2

----------  msysCORE-1.0.13-1 -- 2010 Jan 15 -----------
* Updated MSYS to support runtime pseudo-relocs (see `info ld'
  and search for --enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc). Both v1 and v2
  relocations are supported.
* Other changes necesssary to allow building with GCC 3.x rather
  than the old 2.95.3 version.
* Developer files are moved from within /usr/i686-pc-msys to
  /usr/include and /usr/lib.
* Fix a potential crash when preparing to run executables.
* Fix bug #1249827 - MSYS appending Win32 path to hyphen.

----------  msysCORE-1.0.12-1 -- 2010 Jan 5 -----------
* Documentation moved to /share/doc/MSYS
* MSYS symlink semantics are documented in /share/doc/MSYS/README.rtf
* Improve symlink emulation:
  - handle relative symlinks
  - avoid infinite recursion
  - correct return value on failure
  - fail if destination exists
* Better Win9x compatibility.
