[ANN] cygipc-1.13-2 released

to the one posted a hour ago]

cygipc is an implementation of IPC services for cygwin.  Although it 
will eventually be replaced by the developing "cygwin daemon", cygipc is 
currently the more complete implementation and is used by postgresql as 
well as by the kde-cygwin project.

cygipc-1.13-2 is a drop-in, backwards-compatible replacement for the 
venerable 1.11 release.  (Forget the nightmare that was cygipc-1.12 -- 
for now.  Like Freddy Krueger, it will return in the sequel as 
cygipc-2.x, but not yet.)

cygipc-1.13-2 fixes some long-standing problems experienced by 
postgresql, and now returns "correct" error values when ipc-daemon is 
not running (Jason Tishler).

In addition, it now allows ipc-daemon.exe to "live" in the Program Files 
directory and still run as a service, thanks to a path-quoting patch 
from Przemys?aw Sztoch.

Further, 1.13-2 fixes a problem in which ipc-daemon --install-as-service 
did not properly record the desired log-verboseness level in the registry.

Finally, there have been some changes in the options (although the old 
option switches are still supported).  This change is so that we can 
support more finely graded levels of error reporting in the future.

Previously, error logging was controlled by these two switches:
  -d, --debug                 extra verbose error reporting/logging
  -q, --quiet                 minimal error reporting/logging

Now, these functions are controlled by a single option:
  -D, --debug-level=<int>     Set verboseness of output.
                              0=quiet mode
                              1=normal (default)
                              2=verbose mode

-d/--debug and -q/--quiet are still supported, but their effect is now 
simply:

  -d, --debug                 sets --debug-level=2
  -q, --quiet                 sets --debug-level=0

Now, while you don't NEED to take any action, you might want to edit 
your ipc-daemon startup scripts or registry entries (see the README) and 
change '-q' to '-D 0', etc.

Enjoy,
Chuck
