[Mingw-users] New automated MinGW installer released: 5.1.4

[Cesar S. <ces...@gm...>]

Greetings,

A new version of the Automated MinGW Installer was just released. It can 
be found in the MinGW download page on Sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780

If you wish to upgrade from a previous 5.x.y version, it is strongly 
advised *not* to uninstall it before running this 5.1.4 installer.

The uninstallers in the previous versions work by removing every file 
under the installation directory. Even if that is an efficient approach 
to uninstalling, we recognized the danger of removing unrelated user 
files in the process. While we develop a more satisfactory solution, it 
was decided to release a new version that will only remove the registry 
entries when uninstalling.

The general advice is to never use the uninstall icon or the Add-Remove 
applet on versions prior to 5.1.4. It should be safe doing so after 
upgrading to this newly released version.

Regards,
Cesar
