Cygutils is a collection of useful(?) tools for the cygwin platform. This is a content update and feature enhancement. [[ compiled using gcc-4.5.3-3 ]] CHANGES (from cygutils-1.4.10-1) ================================ * fix bug where readshortcut --raw was always "on" * corrected longstanding issue with lpr printer name normalization * readshortcut now handles embedded "windows" environment variables (%foo%) correctly. PREVIOUS CHANGES (from cygutils-1.4.8-1) ================================ * getclip and putclip now support new cygwin-1.7.13+ clipboard format. * cygstart now supports file:// and mailto: URLs (Yaakov Selkowitz) * Added -R/--raw option to readshortcut (prevents expanding embedded environment variables within paths). Reported by Denis Excoffier. * mkshortcut, readshortcut and lpr now use cygwin-1.7 path conversion functions rather than deprecated ones. However, they make only minimal concessions to unicode, and operate mostly on narrow character encoded pathnames. They should now be able to handle "long" pathnames however. TODO (call for patches): ================================ * Update (some?) utilities to handle unicode filenames, similar to IWAMURO Motonori's work on cygstart. Which utilities need this? mkshortcut and lpr, probably. Any others?(Continue reading)
