The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* cygutils-1.4.16-5
* cygutils-extra-1.4.16-5
* cygutils-x11-1.4.16-5

This release fixes a couple of issues reported in -4test.  I decided
rather than respinning -4 as a non-test release, to just bump to -5.

Unicode capture from the Windows clipboard with getclip and Unicode
display to the Windows clipboard with putclip should now be working
properly.  Thank you to those who reported issues with the previous
builds, both privately and on the main Cygwin mailing list.

Excerpt from ChangeLog follows...
2021-08-24  Mark Geisert  <mark@maxrnd.com>  (release 1.4.16-5)

        * src/clip/putclip.c: Fix broken Unicode support. Don't GlobalFree a
        handle that's been transferred to the system by SetClipboardData().
        Thanks to Christian Franke for that last bit.

2021-08-15  Mark Geisert  <mark@maxrnd.com>  (release 1.4.16-4test)

        * Makefile.am: Add -lkernel32 to src_clip_getclip_LDADD.  This somehow
        didn't make it into the released -3 package.  Thank you Takashi Yano.
        * Fix maintainer build environment issues that caused cygstart crash
        on non-AVX user systems: Thank you Takashi Yano, Brian Inglis, Achim
        Gratz and user Jay Abel for reporting the issue.
        * src/cygdrop/cygdrop.cc: Fix crash with recent gcc and fix printf
        format strings. Thank you Christian Franke.

2021-07-05  Mark Geisert  <mark@maxrnd.com>  (release 1.4.16-3)

        * src/clip/getclip.c: Add Unicode support.

I plan to update the public source repository for cygutils over the next
couple weeks.  Then after that it's revisiting the whole source tree to
make corrections to allow compilation with gcc 11.  That will be 1.4.17.
Cheers & Regards,

..mark
