[Mingw-users] mingw-get-0.5-beta released

[Keith M. <kei...@us...>]

Folks,

I've posted a new release of mingw-get:
  http://tinyurl.com/cfhog7v

(or, for the more paranoid among you, if you haven't enabled tinyurl's
 automatic preview feature):
  http://preview.tinyurl.com/cfhog7v

This is a *beta* release, (all previous releases have been classified as
*alpha*), and is a recommended upgrade for all users.

For the benefit of those who have asked previously, this release now
supports the capability to install a specified version of any package,
other than the most recent, provided the package maintainer has not
withdrawn it from the list of supported releases.  In addition, it
adds the capability for package maintainers to specify pre-install,
post-install, pre-remove, and post-remove actions for their packages,
via lua scripts: see the NEWS section of the release notes, published at
the above URL, for more information.

For users with a prior installation, you may upgrade by running:

  $ mingw-get update
  $ mingw-get upgrade mingw-get

Should that fail, or if installing for the first time, please follow the
installation instructions, which are also published, (towards the end of
the release notes), at the above URL.

Regards,
Keith.
