Project News for Automated gnuwin32 download tool

  • GetGnuWin32-0.6.21 is released

    Dear gnuwin32.sourceforge.net users

    Hardly after one day there is urgent need for a new release: Due to changes of one of the gnuwin32 commands (sed.exe) I need myself for development all .BAT and .TXT file in the package getgnuwin32-0.6.20 had unix style line endings causing the windows command interpreter to issue an error like: cannot find the batch label specified - end_download_project_site. This (besides another little bug) is now corrected.

    The next issue is to make the download more reliable.

    With best regards

  • GetGnuWin32-0.6.20 is released

    Dear gnuwin32.sourceforge.net users

    I'm glad to announce a new version of getgnuwin32, that now runs on windows vista and can handle the new web layout of sourceforge.net.

    Thanks to Jay Satiro <raysatiro@...> -- he did the actual work!

    With best regards

  • GetGnuWin32-0.6.19 is released

    Dear gnuwin32.sourceforge.net users

    Sometimes, GetGnuWin32, the automated download tool for gnuwin32 packages, retrieves only a part of the gnuwin32 main project site. Since this is a problem of sourceforge.net, this can't be corrected within GetGnuWin32. However GetGnuWin32 has now learned to handle this situation quite well: It needs only a part of the gnuwin32 main project site to to its job.

    Enjoy it!

    With best regards

  • GetGnuWin32-0.6.18 is released

    Dear gnuwin32.sourceforge.net users

    Sometimes getgnuwin32, the automated download tool for gnuwin32 packages, retrieved only a part of the file list from the gnuwin32 project site on sourceforge.net. This led to an undefined behaviour of getgnuwin32, since the download tool didn't remark that the retrieved file list was invalid.

    This drawback is now hopefully eliminated with the new version 0.6.18 of getgnuwin32.

    Enjoy it!

    With best regards

  • GetGnuWin32-0.6.17 is released

    Dear gnuwin32.sourceforge.net users

    Due to changes of the web interface at sourceforge.net a corresponding
    update of getgnuwin32 was needed. Ruslan Gainutdinov not only realized
    that, but applied immediately a working patch. Many thanks!

    Best regards
