Re: Release: mintty 2.0.1


Apologies for the first release, 2.0.1-0, which for some obscure reasons did not include the actual version.
The new package 2.0.1-1 is fixed.
@cygwin: Please drop 2.0.1-0 in the repository, 1.1.3 (32bit)/1.2beta (64bit) should be previous versions.

There is a problem with Alt-F2 which I shall fix soon. As a workaround, the Start/Desktop shortcut could be changed from the command shortcut:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -
to a full form like
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -e /bin/bash

After closing half of the open issues, I thought itâs a good time to release mintty. Iâve bumped the major version number to 2 to reflect the change of repository and maintainer and somehow catch up with cygwin...

Major new features and fixes are listed below. See also the changelog in the Wiki
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki
For new options, there is no GUI configuration facility yet ("Hidden settings"). Please ask for them if desired.

The homepage is at http://mintty.github.io/
It also links to the issue tracker.
