A new setup release candidate is available at:

  https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.935.x86_64.exe (64 bit version)

Please test, and report any problems here.

Changes compared to 2.934:

- Add a '--build-depends' option which takes source package names, and 
installs their build dependencies (note that this information is not 
recorded for many older packages) (thanks to John Haugabook).

- Some generalization to arch handling as initial preparation for 
potentially supporting arm64 packages.

- Updated Simplified Chinese (thanks to Yang Yulin) and Japanese (thanks 
to TAKEDA Hiroyuki) translations.

- Some internal changes to better separate out the implementation of GUI 
progress feedback.
