A new release of findutils, 4.2.25-1, is available.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new stable upstream release, with a new maintainer.  Upstream
changes since the previous version, 20041227-1 (a CVS snapshot prior to
4.2.11), are listed below, and can be found in
/usr/share/doc/findutils-4.2.25/NEWS.

There is a known bug in cygwin-1.5.18-1 that causes find to have problems
when traversing /proc/registry.  This has been fixed in cygwin snapshots
as of 20050808, and will work when cygwin-1.5.19-1 is released.

DESCRIPTION:
============
The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate files
on your system.  The find utility searches through a hierarchy of
directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria (such
as a filename pattern).  The xargs utility builds and executes command
lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file names generated
by the find command).  The locate utility scans a database of filenames
and displays matches.  The updatedb utility builds the database for locate.

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'findutils' from
the 'Base' category (it should already be selected).

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
