[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: giflib-4.1.6-2; Updated: libungif-4.1.4-2


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

The following packages have been added to the Cygwin net release:

+++ giflib-4.1.6-2
+++ libgif4-4.1.6-2
+++ libgif-devel-4.1.6-2
*** libungif4-4.1.4-2
+++ libungif-devel-4.1.4-2

All known LZW (GIF compression) patents have expired, so there is no
longer any legal impediment to using giflib instead of libungif.

libungif is now obsolete; the utilities are provided by giflib, and the
new libgif{4,-devel} should be used from now on instead of
libungif{4,-devel}.  The latter remain in the distro for compatibility
with existing packages, but as libungif is no longer being maintained, I
advise rebuilding against libgif ASAP.
