Base-files has been updated to version 4.3-2. This is a feature
release, which was previously available as a test version.
4.3-2 (bugfix/feature release)
* etc/defaults/etc/skel/.bashrc: Remove outdated comments on
completion and mention the bash_completion package as a
prerequisite. See cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-03/msg00207.html
* etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh: If a non-default file is
kept, show a diff to the default version if /bin/diff is
installed and the target is a plain file.
* etc/postinstall/base-files-profile.sh: Do not touch file before
installing so the modes are kept intact, like cygport is already
doing for some time. Reported by Christian Franke, see
cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-09/msg00059.html
4.3-1 (feature release)
* Cygwin.bat: Add to base-files. This version is independent of
the actual install path, see:
cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00617.html
* etc/defaults/etc/profile: Allow the use of the unaltered
existing system PATH by setting the system variable
CYGWIN_USEWINPATH.
* etc/defaults/etc/profile: avoid second invocation of
/usr/bin/hostname. Reported by Helmut Karlowski, see
cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-12/msg00080.html
* etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh (WINETC): Use /proc/cygdrive
prefixed path which keeps working even if the user changes the
/cygdrive prefix after installation.
