+mingw-get-0.2-mingw32-alpha-3
+-----------------------------
+
+Release date: 2011-03-31
+
+- Another bug fix release; this corrects a defect whereby attempts to
+  remove files or directories during any "mingw-get remove ..."
+  or "mingw-get upgrade ..." operation would fail (silently),
+  when any macro is used in the sysroot specification, (such as the
+  use of "%R" in the default specification).
+
+- Also included in this release is a preliminary attempt to accommodate
+  users who wish to run mingw-get when behind an authenticating proxy;
+  (ref: MinGW-Bug 3147803).  Based on MinGW-Patch 31584530,
+  this invokes Microsoft's standard pop-up dialogue to solicit entry
+  of the user's credentials, when requested by a proxy server.

-- Fixes MinGW-Bug 3212246; this was a serious bug which, under certain
-  specific conditions, could result in a package name alias being
-  matched to the wrong package, (e.g. autoconf2.5 resolved to match the
-  mingw32-autoconf2.1 package, instead of mingw32-autoconf2.5).
