Hi

A new version of 'tzcode/tzdata' has been uploaded to a server near you.


DESCRIPTION:
============
The time zone package


CYGWIN NEWS:
============

* compiled with cygwin-1.5.7

* man pages are now in /usr/share/man

* fixed some mkdir warnings during installation

* added missing requires: gawk pdksh

* removed tz-date.exe and tz-date.1 as /usr/bin/date now (since cygwin-1.5.7)
  handles the new timezone format (e.g.: TZ=Europe/Berlin)
  
  There is a script tzselect in /usr/sbin which asks the user about the time zone, 
  and output the resulting TZ value to stdout.
  
* removed libtz.a since the functionality is included in cygwin

* moved /usr/share/zoneinfo-leaps to /usr/share/zoneinfo/right and
  /usr/share/zoneinfo-posix to /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix as on Linux

  
tzcode/tzdata NEWS
==================

* Sorry no changelog available. You have to do the diff yourself.    


INSTALLATION:
=============
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
the above mentioned package from the 'System' category.


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.

These mirrors already got the package, the others will probably have 
the latest version of this package fairly soon:

In the US

       ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/ 

has reliable high bandwidth connections.


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