+
+mingw-get-0.4-mingw32-alpha-1
+-----------------------------
+
+Release date: 2011-11-06
+
+This release fixes a critical bug in the upgrade code, whereby an
+existing DLL could be replaced by an alternative with an incompatible
+ABI version, where the correct action is to install both concurrently.
+As a critical bug-fix release, this is a strongly recommended upgrade
+for all users.
+
+In addition to this critical bug-fix, the following new features have
+been implemented:--
+
+- Modified action: "upgrade"
+
+ The "upgrade" request now supports anonymous upgrade of all currently
+ installed packages; in other words, the command:
+
+ $ mingw-get upgrade
+
+ issued without any additional package-name arguments, will cause
+ mingw-get to invoke the upgrade action in respect of each and every
+ package which is currently recorded as "installed", and for which an
+ upgrade is available.
+
+- New action: "source"
+
+ Invoked by a command of the form:
+
+ $ mingw-get source package-name ...
+
+ requests mingw-get to download the source code archive for each named
+ package, and unpack it in the current working directory.
+
+- New action: "licence"
+
+ Similar to "source", and invoked by a command of the form:
+
+ $ mingw-get licence package-name ...
+
+ requests mingw-get to download the licence packs for each named
+ package, once again unpacking them in the current working directory.
+
+- New option: "--print-uris"
+
+ Used in conjunction with an "install", "source", or "licence" request,
+ causes mingw-get to print, on stdout, the URIs from whence the
+ packages needed to satisfy the request may be downloaded, without
+ otherwise completing the request; (nothing is actually downloaded,
+ unpacked, or installed). This option causes the URIs to be printed
+ irrespective of the installation status of the named packages.
+
+- New option: "--download-only"
+
+ Used with an "install", "upgrade", or "licence" request, causes
+ mingw-get to download any package archives which are necessary to
+ complete the specified action, provided they are not already present
+ within the package cache, but without unpacking or installing the
+ package content. After completing the request, the requisite package
+ archives may be found in the mingw-get package cache
+
+ var/cache/mingw-get/packages
+
+ relative to mingw-get's own sysroot path.
+
+ Similarly, when used with the "source" request, the "--download-only"
+ option causes mingw-get to download any source package archives needed
+ to complete the request, (once again, provided they are not already
+ present in the download cache), but without unpacking them. In this
+ case, after completing the request, the requisite source archives may
+ be found in the directory
+
+ var/cache/mingw-get/source
+
+ relative to the sysroot path.
+
+- New option: "--all-related"
+
+ Used with the "source" or "licence" requests, this option extends the
+ scope of the request, causing mingw-get to also process the source or
+ licence packages associated with all runtime dependencies identified
+ for the packages named in the command.
